Hi
I've a mated nuc with eggs and young larvae which is low on workers with no brood likely to emerge 2 weeks. I've a strong established nuc on a different site in the garden.
Is the queen in the weak nuc at 'risk' if I swap their positions so the flying bees from the strong nuc enter the weak one. It's said that bees returning with stores are accepted into foreign hives.
Or should I play safe and just give them some soon to emerge brood.
