I am a new beekeeper myself. I just wanted to tell you that I am having a robbing problem too so I will watch this post to see what they say. I brought a swarm home yesterday, and though I am glad they stayed they are robbing my nuc that I am introducing a queen to. I just now made a very limited hole in a one by two and just put an entrance only big enough for one bee, since the nuc is only nurse bees, and have not been flying hardly at all. I stood and watched and at least the robbers could not get in. If that is too small someone tell me please
