Wondering if bees from two hives that are and have been queenless for a week, owing to cutdown splits, could be combined? Will the queen pheromone have reduced to a low enough level to allow me to put together bees from two different hives? I want to put some extra nurse bees into my queenless split (that is building an emergency queen cell) from a hive other than their parent hive, for reasons not interesting enough to go into here.
