Thought I had a queenless colony so put a test frame in 4 days ago. Sure enough, checked today and queen cells built. So I took the plunge and did the newspaper combining trick with a strong queen colony. Two questions. How long do I leave before sorting the frames out (I'm thinking two to three days)?. And I assume I give priority to brood and then stores when I put the frames in the bottom box (the colony is too small to take it in to the winter in double brrod). Thanks in advance.
