Riverbee,
No brood at all. I had emptied the freezer to defrost it and had a nuc with 5 frames of food and wax from my late fall swarmed hive last year, I gave them that. Maybe 2 cups of bees. And I put a feed jar on. It was getting too late to open hive 3 and swipe them brood and nurse bees, will try to do that today. For now the queen has a place to lay, they have food and I put an entrance reducer on. She might have been in the hive but had not laid yet when I tore the hives down on Saturday and newspaper combined with the bigger hive. Both hives were calm. I left empty boxes and frames scattered up and down the hive stand in case of a queen's return, but they just clumped by the old entrance reducer, which makes me think this queen came from the split that I gave a new queen, who left me 4 queen cells, because they were small I had given them the reducer,
