Nuc Growth

I drove by my beeyard today and noticed some bearding on a nuc I set up June 19 with a queen cell from "Wayne's bees". A week or two ago I moved a strong hive and placed the nuc in it's place. When I stopped today, they were covering the front of the nuc, with a quart or more bees under the bottom board. I transferred them into a 10 frame deep. There were 3 frames of brood and part of a 4th. Three hours later, they were bearding on the 10 frame. Hopefully they will draw the five frames of foundation in the 10 frame deep quickly so I can add a super for winter.
