Have a hive that may swarm. Please help

Ok, I am not going to worry about feeding syrup to the bees in the nucs.  The bees are bringing in so much pollen, I am sure they are alright with that.  Also, all of them have some honey in place as well.  Thanks again for your words of wisdom!

>odds of none makeing new queens are extremly slim!  I am betting you now get 3 hives going well by july!
Agreed!!!

Watch the nucs as they develop. If you like , and also to control further swarming in your new hive as it strengthens again, take a frame of brood from parent hive (shake bees off) add to weaker nuc. This will strengthen the nuc and help control the swarming in the parent hive.

Get a copy of increase essentials by Larry Connor. a good read and it explains nucs and different ways to set them up  ;). Also explains how many frames (lbs) of honey he suggest as feed for each type nuc. If I had it I would quote it here--- but I loaned it to a friend :-D!
