Ive got some hives i split as AS earlier in the year. Could you advise on when to unite them back. As these AS raised their own queens im still watching them getting going with brood and pattern and am unsure when or if theyre slowing down. I realize we are still in july with more forage available but am keen to unite back down to original number of hives ( as is hubby as theyre using valuable veggie plot space atm) as soon as is swarm safe to do so. Thinking ahead really and thought id throw in this question on a thread about uniting.
Whenever you think you have a good queen. I leave one half ( the botom hive if using paper) queenless for 24 hours
