Caught a swarm in bee ( back) yard , mid August in a dead out 10 on 10 deep that had moth damage.. Box was on the other side of back yard, about 2 acres, seen when cutting grass, maybe 2 weeks. Inspected and found not many bee's. So changed out boxes and frames(drawn frames) single ten deep, 2 weeks later State inspector came she looked at them said these bee's are cordovian Bee's, told me to nuc them. So put them in a 5 over 5 and added med Super 5 on top and feed. Did inspection on Oct. 14 and found 9 Q-cells
pretty 1 1/2" cells , let's see what happens. We've not got to freezing temps yet, supposed to get 29° Fri. night. So opened box today , been keeping 2:1 SW to them, top super full and capped , next down 5 deep , first 3 frames capped on top and pollen and SW low, 2 of the frames (drawn) had a little SW. Go down to bottom 5 deep, lots of bee's in both 5 deeps, first frame
to out side had capped at top and pollen on the outside of box, flipped frame and there were 1-2-3 day eggs. Pulled 2 nd. frame1-2 day eggs on both sides, pulled 3 rd and BOOM there she is , good looking Q moving slow and laying, didn't go into last 2 frames , didn't see any capped brood. So I know I'm in a situation that I can't control. Please any advice.
