sounds like the nuc has been made up awhile. Once you get them hived and she has room I think you will be just fine. Make sure you feed.

I think they had them a long time. I am moving frames and adding a box on sat. I peeked yesterday and she has some capped brood and things are looking good. I will also take the feeder off for the new hive going in on sat. I hope all works out well and thanks for the advice. I think this is a case of a supplier who didn't pay attention to the nucs

This same hive that had the empty queen cups made a queen cell. I didn't notice before but it must have capped the the past week. The original queen was found during my inspection with eggs ect. Do I need to do anything or let them work things out.   What should I expect?
