So I’m going to make up a nuc. In same apiary is this plan ok:
Frame of capped brood with eggs stores and drawn comb.
shake in 50% more nurse bees than I think and block entrance with loosely packed grass. after 24 hours. Check they’re flying and returning at entrance and not blocked in.
Knock down emergency QCs ( introduce caged Q and 1/1 sugar syrup at this stage???)
Leave in cage and after 7 days go in and crack seal on cage, leave them alone for at least two weeks??
