I’m not going to pull apart my hive 1 to put the brood back. I either severely stunned or perhaps killed my queen from that hive and I have vowed not to pull it apart again for a month. I also put a frame into that nuc from nuc hive 5 this morning because I didn’t think there were enough bees to support the new queen. I am tempted to leave this hive alone to raise its own emergency queen, but I think emergency queens tend not to be as strong. I need to do more research on this.
