We placed a test frame into the hive from our new nuc colony 2 weeks ago.
No new queen cells appeared.
Instead we have spotted eggs on other frames and also very young larvae. Hurrah!

What does 'bruising' mean when the honey is not capped?

Once again thanks for the educational advice,
All the best,
Sam

if there is room in the hive say in a super, they will normaly move un capped honey to the super to make egg laying space, but will not move capped brood unless you damamge the cappings ( briuse)...i also run the hive tool over uncapped honey. whether it is correct i dont know but an old beek told me when i asked about bruising capped that if they have to work on repairs of uncapped cells, they will clear it before they repair it...anyone else any views if this is correct
