Can I shake a queenless hive in front of another hive and let the nurse bees go in and the forgers fly back to their old location?
Instead - just shake into an empty pocket next to the target colony (separated by a dummy board or a newspaper with slits and a small passage).Can I shake a queenless hive in front of another hive and let the nurse bees go in and the forgers fly back to their old location?
Then do it.I think what I'll do is just combine with newspaper the queenless colony. The target colony probably has less bees, but I'm told that may be okay. Thoughts on that plan?
