Can I introduce a queen from my own recaptured swarm into a hive next to the one she originally came from?
I want to do this because the both hives also swarmed and the one I want her in has been queenless for about 3 weeks (no queen seen, no eggs, no larvae, no valid queen cells)
The swarmed hive I'm taking her from has lots of new eggs and very young larvae. The way I see it is they can hopefully raise a queen with their young but the other hive is out of luck by now.
Any thoughts or ideas?
