This nuc was robbed out over summer and feed all FALL long was lite going into winter.
There was a little honey but not much(https://worldwidebeekeeping.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi952.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fae9%2FGLOCK3%2FBEEKEEPING%25202014%2FP2230051_zps9c55a651.jpg&hash=9708a92e2c7e4cc43428494bb18a2d1ab474d8fc) (http://s952.photobucket.com/user/GLOCK3/media/BEEKEEPING%202014/P2230051_zps9c55a651.jpg.html)
As you can see on this frame there was honey only a few in. away.(https://worldwidebeekeeping.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi952.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fae9%2FGLOCK3%2FBEEKEEPING%25202014%2FP2230040_zps811a4ffd.jpg&hash=32588f23dbda3066aa6e7281cf6936d79a7f02b6) (http://s952.photobucket.com/user/GLOCK3/media/BEEKEEPING%202014/P2230040_zps811a4ffd.jpg.html) I had a little honey in the bottom box but all the bees where in the top box.
I seen no brood at all and there was only one side of a frame with pollen in the bottom box.

Plus not a very strong nuc {my fault}  still learning all my nucs where robbed out last summer and I had to feed all to get them up to weight  and still some where mighty lite . I should of combined but I did not I'm learning. Still have 21 hives ;D 2nd year I don't have to buy bees I may even sale a few nucs.
Thank you.
