Hey All,
What do you all think about doing a newspaper combine and a push in cage at the same time to ensure queen acceptance between a queen right nuc and a queen less package install? The package of bees was installed on the 15th of April and the queen was not accepted. The nuc has a newly mated queen from a split I made on March 31st…She has 2 or 3 frames of eggs and larvae already in the nuc. Has anybody tried this? May be overkill? Just don't want her to be killed! Thoughts?
