Jon,
It sounds as if this is what I unsuccessfully tried to do. I have a nuc with a laying Q derived from the Q I got from you last year and could try introducing her to one of my Q-less full hives - but am reluctant to do this without the certainty of knowing that there is not already a resident Q.
