HELLO

Need some advise please...

How do I take my queen less TBH swarm and combine it with a weak lang hive I have?

Only have three or four bars of partial drawn comb but plenty bees in the queen less:scratch: TBH

Any specific instructions would truly be appreciated

Thanks

I attached the TBH combs into jumbo frames using cable ties-- I had to chop the bar lengths by 1/2 "to 16.5" to fit.

Took each TBH frame, attached it to a frame stand using wood clamps, chopped the ends using a branch lopper. Put cable ties onto lang frame, attache the TBH fame.. jib done.
