Re-queening from a nuc

[Van, Arkansas, USA]

Phillip: reading Brother Adam book, he did mention and did see the viciousness of the African honey Bee.  I can tell you from reading his book, Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey, ,Brother Adam wanted nothing to do with the vicious African Honey Bee.

Keep in mind, not all Bees in Africa are vicious.  In fact Brother Adam collected several queens from Africa but they were from gentle hives.  His prize was a solid black queen collected from a man made hive from the Mountain.  I believe Brother Adam was in his eighties, 80 when he made his last trip to Africa.  Like I said earlier, he traveled the world collecting queens.
Blessings

To clean up the drone layer hive, I had distributed the bee frame with attaching bees into other queen
right hive before.    Let's say you have 10 hives with a laying queen.  Then each hive will receive a frame of
bees from the DL hive.   

Since DL hive may or may not be queen right, you have to further inspect this hive.
