Two weeks ago, I successfully introduced Russian
Queens into 2 small
nucs (2 frames and 3 frames) using the push in cage
method.  The queens
were released from the cages in 2 days.  After the
queens were laying
well (8days later), I added 4 frames of bees and brood
(Italian). to
each nuc.  There was no queen on the added frames.
Within 10 minutes,
both queens were balled and killed.  What did I do
wrong?  How should it
be done next time?  Thanks for your help.
