Subject: double hives

I asked this question the other day, but it seems to have gottern swallowed
up in the plywood question. I have weak hives (from packages) and no brood
frames to donate to them. I have double-hived packages before, and they
seemed to help each other to grow faster, so I would like to do it again.
But I don't remember when to do it. Wait until there is sealed brood? Wait
until there is emerging brood? Wait until a week from Thursday? I'm really
swimming on this one. I want to do it as soon as possible to aid the hives,
but don't want to make the mistake of doing it too soon. Any suggestions?
Thanx, Joel
