Theres a small cast about the size of a tennis ball hanging from a tree in my apiary.

I think its too small to put into a poly nuc and I dont have a mini nuc.

I want to give it a chance. Will it survive if I put it an a ply nuc with say one frame dummied down?

Anyone got any better ideas?

I hope that the queen has good genomy and next year you will see 25 tennis ball size swarms hanging around the trees.
