I transferred Hive #4 from Nuc to 10 Frame hive. Opening the Nuc I did not smell the sweet unpleasant odor as I did on the last inspection. The bees were not as defensive and did not hit my veil.
Because I had transferred so many bees over to the Nuc I had decided to go ahead and put them in a 10 frame hive. As I pulled each frame I inspected it and found several queen cells. I have decided to let the colony produce their own queen.
