spring nuc's ...what next

[citrus]

So as part of the swarm preps I made up a few nuc's with queen cells and basically have left them get on with it for a month or so.

Seem happy enough when i look thru the clear crownboard so I guess I just wait til they have filled the box and are bursting out to think about moving them to a full hive ?

Yes any nucs now will easily make it into a single brood. If you have any brood frames to extract Haney from give them those back and in particular any with areas of pollen. Much better than storing them let the bees do it.
