What do you do at this point? I was just going to put supers on but I'm worried they'll get cramped and swarm. They have swarmed at least twice this year already.
Is there a way to keep them in just two boxes?
Another thing- if I dump one box of bees out in front of their hive, put an excluder then the empty box on top, can I then use these bees with the newspaper method and add to another hive? Does it make any difference which of the three chambers you use?
Sorry for the likely basic Q's.
