I have 1 hive that doesn't have a very good brood pattern and I think the Queen is starting to back off on producing eggs as she is 2 yrs. old. As it is July and the Honey season is about over here in S.E. Kansas I was wondering if I could find the Queen and PINCH her and let them make a new Queen. They should have enough time before Winter which comes in late October or early November. I have 2 other hives that I could rob a frame of brood and eggs from if necessary. What do you think? Looking for Ideas. Dale
