Hi folks,
I'm new to beekeeping and have an old hive wich is unfortunately on its last legs as are the frames inside. I have a new hive but what is the best way to get the bees from one hive to the other with fresh frames?
I've been told I can take off the old super and queen excluder, and put the new broodbox and super on top of that mines the floor and they will move up into the new hive in a few weeks or so...
Anyone any experience of this or suggestions?
Cheers
