I see what you're saying Steve but my hive with the GM queen is really small at the moment so if I can get them to use these frames with stores to build fresh comb then I'll have them emptied and gain drawn comb which would be amazing for me.
I'm only going to be building one nuc. Can imagine I have enough frames of stores to do this.
@Nigel if I just bruise the combs and leave them where they are, what will they do? Should I stick frames of foundation next to the combs or will that not be a strong enough hint for them?
Appreciate all the advice here guys just trying to understand each option better before I make my move, which I will do by this weekend, possibly merge with an inspection.
