My question is which brood box will sit in the original spot and which one will sit about one foot away??
OMG I"m so sorry to bother with another question! I remember all the steps I'm supposed to take to take to requeen my hive that has a failing queen except where to put the box.
1. shake the bees into the bottom brood box
2. shake the bees off and move my one frame of brood a friend gave me to the top box
3.put frames with some honey/pollen at the top...and the new queen cage.
4. give them some drawn out foundation frames
5. Put on a queen excluder and all the nurse bees and workers that want to come to the top will
6. If I do have a queen at all- she should be trapped in the bottom
7. Tomorrow I should go in the bottom box and look for the queen. If I find her I can move her .... should I move her in the bottom box she is in... NEXT to the Original box?
8. or should the box with the new queen and frame of brood be in the Original location. My boxes are going to sit next to one another with about a foot between them.
I don't know if I put the new queen's box in the original spot or the old queen (which I think is not really in there).
