Drone Bee
The hive I nuc’d the queen from just over a week ago is rapidly filling their top bb with nectar/honey. They’re on double brood.
By the time the new queen gets mated I expect this top box will be full of capped honey. Not sure what I should do at that stage…rotate the boxes and bruise the cappings?
I know some people might say just extract it but there will be some sugar syrup in there too, as I was feeding them until the weather warmed up a couple of weeks ago (in retrospect I guess I overfed them a bit)…
