Received third queen today for Nuc. The company I buy the queens from know me by name and my address. My father and I inspected the Hives 1 through 3. During the inspection, we robbed a brood frame each from two hives. I thought I had brushed all the bees off the frames into their respective hives, however, when I got home I discovered there were a few on the brood frames. Oh yes, I had the open box in my back seat.

I moved the Nuc three yards to a spot where it would get more sun facing as it had before, South East. I hung the cage with the queen and attendants on one of the new brood frames and told the girls good night.
