The Green nuc hive was bearding a little today so I put them in a 10-frame deep box. 3+ frames capped brood so I guess the new queen is good.

The nucs were started 4 weeks ago with swarm cells/queens. In 1 week all that capped brood should start emerging.

I stacked the Green nuc box on top of the White nuc but it's progressing a lot slower. It started with 2 frames of bees instead of 3 like the Green nuc.

What do you think? A queen?

Returning from a mating flight.. It's been 5 days since frames with queen cells were put in the nuc but maybe she was already emerged and I didn't see her. They say 6 days to mature but these are bees so they have their own plans.
