I looked into #1 today to see if it was queenright or not. If not, I was prepared to combine the nuc with the feral swarm with it. However, Maidi and I saw the queen. There still was no visible larvae. I have no idea why she is not laying. I have two choices- replace her or not. I decided to just let her bee (acknowledgements to Noah). When we return from our upcoming travels, the hive will be thriving or not. If not, I can repopulate with one of the nucs.
4 days ago I put sticky boards in all three hives. I took them out today. The count: #1, 4; #2, 7:
#3, <25! The mite away quick strips are already in #2 and 3.
I did post a nuc for sale today, too.
