I am going to have a problem later his year. Bought a nuc ten days ago (great bees, very calm and busy). It swarmed on Sunday so now I have two small 'colonies'. One with a laying queen and hopefully drawing comb like mad, and one with an uncapped queen cell. Assuming I am going to have two small queened colonies, can anyone recommend any tips/strategies/tricks of the trade to build up my colonies so they will stand a chance of making it through the winter?
