Afternoon , on quite a few occasions now I’ve United 6 frame nucs without smoke or newspaper simply because I haven’t had any to hand .
Method Q+ on the bottom Q- above a nuc extension of comb preferring the Q- colony to not have any means to make queen cells reconfigure a week later most of the time I’ve found eggs in the nuc extension so they get put bellow and the extension goes above as a super or if they aren’t strong enough the extension gets removed .
Has anyone else tried this?
Thanks
