Welcome to Beemaster.
Sorry to see that you lost one side of that great looking rack.
Go into a the nucs and look at the bees on the queen cages. If you can easily move the bees with a finger or a feather, I would open the cage and let into the hive. If they are biting the cage they are not ready.
By the way, you did not get a true Nuc. A Nuc should have 4 or 5 frames of bees with a queen that has proven herself by filling the Nuc with eggs and larvae. You basically got a package with some bees on frames and a queen.

Yeppas... like that other fella over in "Downunder Beekeeping"... didn't get what was ordered, like ;-))
"Rack" pulled me up to post, Jim, as I diddun "get it"... it's only us old (bigger) guys that get
"manboobs". So I had to think on it... the "funny" didn't come easy, like.
When the lightbulb lit up the first thought was Wayne is a lucky guy the other fella with the 30.08
is a poor shot!! Hahahhahahhahhaaaaa
Ditto in Welcome, Wayne ;-)
