I want to combine two colonies and have not done it before.
The hives are 6 feet apart. The colony in the position I want the combined colony to be is queenless, it has a runty single queen cell just capped.
The other colony has a good 2013 queen on 4 frames of brood, both hives have a single super.
What is the best way to go about it?
