I captured a small swarm and placed it into a nuc box and placed on a hive
stand.  The bull ants attacked and the queen and lots of bees were lost.  I
have about a double hand full of bees left over.  They are sitting around in
groups. I opened my other hives looking for a frame of brood with a capped
queen cell, no luck. I saw some small larvae in uncapped cells on several
deep frames but I do not think I have enough bees to cover the entire frame.
What can I do, short of ordering another queen, to save these bees ?
Thanks,  Will Lewis..
