Dumping a Laying Worker Hive

[maddydog]

I've had a similar problem but was not sure, some brood seemed like a DLQ and some a drone laying worker. Having two hives it is not a problem.
I was advised to dump the Bees in a hedge and let them get on with it.
Because I had two hives I smoked the hive for some time but made an effort to smoke between the frames from both ends. Left the hive for about 10 mins. a coffee break, and then shook the Bees out.
I placed a ramp in front of my second hive and whilst I smoked the Bees constantly my Wife shook the Bees off the frames. They marched into the second hive as expected of a swarm.
Next day there were only a few dead Bees on the ramp.
I considered this a good result for a beginner.
I would not have saved these worker Bees but to the good advice from this Forum.

With respect you may want to learn to recognise the difference between a drone laying queen and laying workers. In your scenario 'if' i wanted to help the troubled colony i would have added a frame of bias to it from my remaining queen-right colony as a first step
