Hi everyone,
It has almost been 3 weeks since I set up my mini mating hive. Hopefully soon I will be seeing signs of the queen laying.
I know there's some time left before I need to take the next step, but I'd like to get a plan together early. I'm wondering, do you just transfer them straight into a nuc box with a couple of drawn frames and dummy out the rest?
Of course they can't keep their frames, so what would happen to the mini mating hive frames of brood?
