I hived 4 packages on April 17th. one hive is doing very well, I added a 2nd broodbox to that hive 3 weeks ago and it has about another week before it will be ready for a super. The 2nd hive is still 1 brood box and is about a week away from a 2nd brood box. Now for the last 2 packages, they are both still just one brood box. One hive is just now starting on it's sixth frame while the other is still working on it's 5th. Both hives are queen-rite and they are laying. All hives are being fed 1/1. I am thinking it is time to combine these hives or re-queen. My concern for combining is that I will still be working with an inferior queen. So is it time to order a couple of good queens, or should I give them some more time?
