When we used to work on cars together my Dad always said don’t change or adjust too many things at once if you can help it without testing if it still works. Otherwise you are never sure what worked and what didn’t.
Makes sense if I shook them after they capped the QC and I hatched that independently I would never know what the way forward would be for next time. Let's see how it pans out...
Steps so far:
Swarm collected 2nd June-11th June eggs
16th June -multiple eggs in cells and on pollen, Identified LW drone brood.
Pulled drone brood and froze,
Gave LW swarm a good frame of eggs lavae and capped brood,
Put frozen Drone brood into an entirely different colony (only from LW swarm I know the origin of) to clear the cells
Saw the LW swarms are drawing out emergency charged qc's.
