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 #6 (Italian)
Significant events/observations:
8/11/12: Nuc created from 3 frames from Hive #6 (eggs, brood, food). Not sure if there were enough eggs, will have to check and perhaps grab a new frame of eggs.
8/25/12: Nuc still together but no queen cells. Added eggs from Hive #5.
9/29/12: Nuc empty and robbed out. Moved queen and two frames of brood from Hive #4 (robbed out) to this nuc and started newspaper combine with Nuc #5.
