> Very much the issue here! Which is why we manage splits differently every season. Never make a small split on timing. But on weather. Need to have good warm night. Nucs are also stacked together to conserve heat.
I have had very good luck with the poly nucs from Better Bee. They retain heat very well and I often find the queen on the outer frames during inspection.
