Moving day!

I moved 15 frames from the Russian hive into 3 nuc boxes. They hadn't started drawing comb on 5 of their 20 frames so they won't miss them. Now the frames that they ARE working are stacked vertically with the 2 frames of brood in the middle of the middle box. I did the move on Thursday, Oct 10, and gave them a new bucket of syrup, too. I think this is the best I can do for this hive.

I didn't check the Italian hive since they seem to be doing well. I'll check their bucket of syrup this weekend.
