Planning! Let's start by being optimistic. Assume all my colonies survive the winter. If that happens, I have more colonies than I want. I also have one colony that is very nervous and defensive - not really very pleasurable to manage.
Would it be reasonable to remove that queen and combine the workers with one of my other colonies to help with their spring build up? How soon would it be reasonable to do that?
Thanks for any advice
