[QUOTE="Breeder of queens Koss, post: 9454, member: 449"] You can use this option. Take an empty box. Place the main colony overhead, dividing the boxes with newspaper. Make a couple of small slits in the newspaper. And move the frames with the bee into the empty box. Check for uteruses and for virgin queens. You can do this operation towards evening. The question is how long the nukes are without a queen. There may already be bees in them that are taking over the queen's duties - the trout queen. These are the ones that will die when united. An important factor is to bring in nectar. If there is a honey harvest, the bees are more likely to unite. [/QUOTE]
