Helpful little attendants! Rolling my eyes. Savvy bees. Sounds like you have done a great job! How exciting!

With your nuc, does it have an opening so the bees are able to forage and a new queen able you go on her mating flight? And if so, did you locate your nuc far away from the old hive? I'm still unpacking all the bee roles and functions as they age. So much to learn! Would legacy foragers go back to their original hive if it were close?

A walkaway split for our stronger hive is probably what we should consider as well. Thanks very much for the details.
