Over the winter I have made 7 nucs, 4 commercial and 3 national. They are stacked under an overhanging roof and south facing. I added foundation to one of each type last week. Yesterday was warm and sunny and I noticed half a dozen bees taking a keen interest in both nucs - could they be scout bees? certainly looks like it. Does anyone know how far in advance of a swarm are scout bees sent out? or is it just a case of finding alternative housing for possible emergency use?
