From new york 3rd year beekeeper. Now 11 hives lol. Have caught a few swarms from my own apiary. I transitioned to bucket feeders with bung plugs and tiny holes. It works great. Im just trying to figure out if there's a better way to clean them then soaking in bleach for a day. The lids don't come off so there's no way to scrub inside. Just wanted to see if the community had any better ways. You guys are always awesome and a wealth of information. Thank you in advance!!!!!

From ny. 3rd year bee keeper. 10 hives. Did a walk away split 2 weeks ago. that didn't produce queen cells after a week put a queen cells Bought a queen. Placed her in the nuc with plenty of bees and resources 5 days ago. They liked her so it appeared. She was released but there are a lot of drones and drone brood. I'm assuming i have a laying worker and the queen either got taken out or faulty. I'm gonna check again this weekend but if i don't see any capped brood and my assessment is correct, what do i do with the frames in the nuc?
