[QUOTE="tristan, post: 7361, member: 30"] situations are often different. you mileage may vary. hive strength can change things a bit to. but if you have queen in old location, thats a big reason for them to leave the nuc and go back. which is why we typically take the nuc away so they don't do that. the reason you move the queen and most of the brood is to give the bees more reasons to stay and not drift back to the old location. the other gets the old location. if you move both away from old location they will fly around looking for the hive and go to whatever has the queen in it. you need to have something to hold them.
