I just brought back a new bunch of bees from a fallen tree limb . It is a big colony , filled most of 2 brood bodys .

I was hesitant to take them directly to my other bees . They seemed healthy and never saw any sign of mites . Popped open a few drone brood cells in process of extraction .

I do now, but I didn't used to. I have two Apiaries and I keep them separate from spring, when I get inspected until fall, when I won't be shipping bees. But if I wasn't shipping bees I probably wouldn't because it's a lot of work. But then it also depends on how close your other yard is. Mine is an hour's drive.
