Bob Harrison said "A push in cage over emerging brood
is recommended.  To requeen a full size hive, I
recommend the above method in a nuc and then once the
queen is established use the nuc to requeen the hive."
 Bob, please tell us in detail how you use the nuc to
requeen the hive.  Is this done in one step by
removing the old queen with several  frames and
replacing with the laying Russian queen on the nuc
frames or are more steps such as putting newspaper
between the Russian nuc and hive to be requeened
necessary.  Do we need to strip the field bees from
the hive to be requeened?  Thanks for your advice.
Bob Maxwell
