Could you take a frame of brood from another hive and put in the nuc to entice the queen up? I assume the only way for them to go back into the valve after foraging is through the hole in the nuc? If you supered it and had the hole only in the top nuc they would have farther to go, would this make them stop within the nucs better? Just wondering for future reference.
Adding a broodframe in the nuc with drawn comb could very likely entice her to move up. I can only assume that he has a hole in the bottom of the nuc for them to enter through, although I'm not certain. ...JP |

Yes and no. 1 frame would not be enough. However 1 frame of brood, 1 frame of honey, and 1 frame of pollen would be. Sincerely, Brendhan |

The white rag in the front of the last photo was to seal an opening that was large enough for the bees to enter. With the rag there they go into the top entrance and cross the comb that is in the frames. Sincerely, Brendhan |

I enjoyed the video immensely, was really hoping you would find the queen, was pulling for you. Your excitement for what you are trying to accomplish and what the bees have already accomplished shines through with that Brendhan energy, magnificent!
I agree they need another nuc box pronto!
Good luck to you and eagle eye on getting her next time!

Those bees were so mean they didn't want to be rude and sting you, they knew they could off you at any moment and had pity on your poor soul Brendhan.
You need to have them tested at once or other people who come in contact with that colony may be tickled or licked to death.
You wouldn't want that on your conscience now would you?
Hey, was it a lil windy that day??
Great job man.

It was windy Saturday and Sunday. It keeps blowing the clouds away. That is why I have no rain. Those mean nasty bees. I mean what will people think. Did you see the tattoos on that queen. She has to be one of those biker types. Just vicious.  Sincerely, Brendhan |
