I have a very weak colony that is queenright, though only a frame of young nurse bees. The queen might be the original, or she might be a superseded mated or virgin -- they had had a queen cell hatch out -- but due to questions of drone population and the fact that I still dont see her laying after 2 weeks -- I really don't know what the deal is with her.
I'm wondering if this is a way to possibly save her and her little colony --- without stealing brood to boost her from my other very young hives.
Basically -- a newspaper combine, over a queen excluder, this one on top of a stronger new hive I have.
Does this have any chance?
