Robbing Big Scale

[Millet]

I suspect it will most likely be Millet's strong colony doing the robbing, the disorganized rabble in the Q- are unlikely to be the robbers, more surprising is they haven't been robbed themselves...
If by giving them something to do for their last few days by uniting and they take exception to their new queen? Remember many of these aggressive bees have been pseudo-queens for a long long time now, much longer than most "normal" laying workers.
Potentially a lot of progress lost by taking an unnecessary chance.

I'm not 100% on where the robbers came from but i suspected the laying worker colony, on them angry colony getting robbed i think the only thing that would do that is Me or Asian Hornets..

Its ok Erica i have moved the weaker colony 60 mile away to my middle location where i am at most of the time at this time of the year and it is now under my watchful eye most of the day, there is a big Balsam flow on not more than 500yrd's from where the Nuc is so if they find that it will be happy days, the other two colonies one nuc and one double brood have enough bees to defend themselves, so the laying worker colony will be left to do there thing.

Brilliant I'm sure they will be fine. Is this your queen from " you know who" ?
