I'm planning on combining a queenright hive with a queenless hive tomorrow. This hive has been queenless for about a week and no laying worker signs as of yet. However when I place the queen right hive on top is there a certian time of day I need to do this? If I move that hive then the feild bees wont know where to go will they? or will they just distribute to other hives? Im not going to give them a top entrance but rather just trap them in so they will chew through to combine.
However on another note, how does a newspaper combine work? I mean why could you not just dump them together, your telling me that a sheet of newspaper will allow them to acclimate to one another so they wont kill eachother? Crazy!! These insect are wild!!
