Hi,
 
Just a thought I had when re-reading your 'Bees Absconding' posting.   I
made  up some nucs this year to bring on new queens ready for next year.
I used to introduce using cages but decided to be  extra  cautious  this
year  and  unite  queen-right  nucs.  I've had my worst new queen losses
ever because wasps robbed the nucs bare -- one nuc  contained  just  the
queen and a single worker when I opened it.  I guess if your problem was
the same you would probably have noticed, but then again...
 
Just a thought, regards,
