Hive status: Raising a new queen (I hope)
Hive origin: New Nuc in August 2012
Queen type: Raised in 2012 from eggs from overwintered Hive #4 (Italian from CA package)
Significant events/observations:
8/11/12: Nuc created from 3 frames from Hive #4 (eggs, brood, food)
8/25/12: Nuc died and was robbed out. Moved 2 frames of eggs from Hive #3 and added entrance reducer to prevent robbing.
9/29/12: Small colony, no queen. Added queen and two frames of brood from Hive #4 (robbed out) to Nuc #7 and started newspaper combine with this nuc.
