Inspection Intervals of a new NUC

[Hughesie]

What inspection intervals would you suggest for a Nuc with a queen cell which has been capped for 5 days.

 

[rae]

Leave it for three weeks.

Leave it for three weeks.

And if it's a dud? Nearly three weeks lost...I'd want to quietly pull that frame in four days early in the day and check it's hatched. Could have been resealed incarcerating a worker so would check on that.

Check in three days if its a warm to hot day, check the frame with cell on it to see if the bottom is missing. If it is, close them up for 3 weeks and pray for plenty of good weather.
