Queen in hive laying mostly drones. Nearly sure it’s not LW’s, as fresh eggs are in a good pattern and mostly at cell bottom.
That hive is not obviously building up. Lots of drones there, and the season getting on.
So........
Have a 6 frame nuc , Q laying really well.. building up nicely. I was going to maybe leave them in there over winter. But thought it best to unite with the hive...
Could I Unite them directly into a brood box, by dusting/spraying them? Or is it necessary to use the newspaper method?
Any advice welcome...
