I Have a Couple of questions

[pondman]

1. I have a five frame nuc all five are filled with brood an some pollen an honey. When should I put them in a reg hive?

2. I found 7 queen cells in one super. They all on the bottom of the frames I found one that was sealed. Why are they make all these? Can i take one an put it in a nuc with some brood, pollen,honey, an shake some bees. This hive has room in the brood chamber but all the brood is in the supers. Can I take the brood chamber an move it to the middle?

Thank you for all the help you can give. First time that I have seen so many queen cells in one hive.

God Bless

Now.

To swarm.

Yes.

The middle would split the brood nest with a very large gap (9 5/8").  I would not do this.  You could put it on top.  You could extract it and then put it on top.  You can do many things.

The first thing you need to do is decide if they are swarming what you intend to do.  If they have a capped cell they may have already swarmed, if not they will swarm tomorrow or the next day.  I would split them now.  I've never been able to stop them when it's gotten this far.
