Looking for some advice

[Silvbee]

Hi everyone,

Apologies if this isnt in the right section but Im in need of some advice and I was hoping you all may be able to help me.
I came through the winter with 2 full size hives that were doing really well. 2 weeks ago I performed swarm control on both hives splitting one off into a nucleus and snelgrove boarding the other. All hives had plently of stores but with a run of bad weather the nucs are lacking and are now being fed. My snelgroved hive with the queen in the bottom box seems to have really slowed down. The queen is still laying and Im bleeding flying bees into the bottom box but theres no real expansion all the bees seem to be in the supers instead.
So... my question is, to maximise honey production for the summer (my spring honey has all but gone) should I re-unite my snelgrove hive or continue bleeding in flying bees?

Many thanks, love the forum.

If the queen has little in the way of young workers, there won't be many to draw comb or tend to the brood which could slow progress.
