I've been reading up on combining hives as we have several caught swarms that we'd like to merge with our stronger colonies. I'm comfortable with the newspaper method and will be trying it out this weekend, weather permitting.
However, our stronger colonies have supers on. Should the weaker colony BBs go on top of the supers or above the strong BB and below the supers? If the latter, would we need two layers of newspaper (i.e. one between the strongBB and the weak BB and one between the weak BB and the super)?
Thanks!
