John asked:
>Just to confirm-How did you know that it was the addition of young bees and
not just a more advanced season that induced the resumed laying? Got any
"clinchers"?
It was several years ago but yes it was later in the season when checking and rechecking over wintered nucs. Young bees were already available to add. As I remember the clusters were very small in the nuc needing help. My objective was to have spring queens available rather than producing bees in the nucs.
