Remove one brood frame with new eggs. make a bovcut though the area with new
eegs and remove the comb below the bowcut. You can thin it out by removing
the cells at one side. The bees will use the bowcut to raise new quee(s)
from. when you after nine days go through the NUC you can remove the surplus
queen cells produced and give those if of value to other hives needing a
replacements of queens.
