Today I moved the five frames of the nuc into a deep box. I used the recently made divider boards to control the space in the box. There was honey on three of the frames and brood on two. I did not spend time looking for the queen as it as cool. When I was done, the bees were going in and out their new home.

Last night, it came to me that the frames probably were not aligned with the opening of the entrance reducer. I went out in the cold this morning and shifted the frames more to the side and corrected the situation.
The devil is in the details.
