I started last May with a nuc, think the queen was either young or poorly mated as her brood pattern had a lot of drones mixed in (plus some eggs on sides of cells, etc). Colony was slow building up and drawing comb. A supersedure cell appeared in July...I'm not sure if they actually did supersede (probably) or the original queen just got her act together, but the brood pattern did eventually improve. Still, the hive went into winter relatively low on stores but did make it through and exploded in the spring, casting 3 swarms that I know of before I was ready lol.

Hey! What's your preferred method of feeding dry pollen to your bees? Also, does wax you take off of old combs and reprocess eventually go bad or get to concentrated with pesticides?
