I'm going to newspaper combine. I have never combined before so I have a question. I'm combining a small queenless swarm with a small queenright nuc. I'm putting the queenless in the top box. Do I need to give them an entrance in the top box or is the point to keep them sealed in it? I don't know how fast they will chew through the paper but its hot and I worry about them getting too hot in the top box with no ventilation. Do I need to put any frames in there with them or will they make it through the newspaper quick enough? They made some queen cells that I am giving to another queenless swarm. Thoughts???
