Tom,

Last year I divided a production hive into 5 smaller nucs.
They all got a new young queen and a box of sugar sirop on
top. After a few days I noticed that the nucs were robbing
one another with only very little excitement. I saw bees
flying from one nuc to their own, and as they were
sisters, this all happened without any fighting.

cheers,

Hugo
