Please be nice in your answers, I do know how to combine 2 hives and why, when etc. but I need help this time...
I have a QR 5 frame poly nuc with over 2 frames of covered brood and good stores - It is a one piece box with integral mesh floor. I also have a wooden national hive with about 4 frames of bees but no queen, no brood and 9 empty unused queen cells (bigger than cups). What are the mechanics of combining them? Just to make things even more complicated I am exactly half way through apiguard treatment.
