With all of that capped brood I assume you will have to very soon transfer them to a five frame nuc. ?? What is the benefit of starting with a two frame nuc?
Yes. They will more than likely be ready to move to a 5 frame NUC within about a week. The benefit to the 2 frame NUC gives the colony time to acclimate and establish the new colony. Bees tend to work harder and faster in tighter spaces, they will concentrate heavier on drawing out the comb and filling the 2 frames, but you do have to stay attentive to the 2 frame NUCs to not get away from you and swarm. Hence, why we will be moving them probably this week to 5 frame NUCs.
