Useful knowledge - thank youYes for merging colonies, but for boosting them with a frame or two of brood and adhering bees they can simply be gathered and distributed without worrying too much about fighting in my experience, possibly because I keep the surplus bees and brood in an open box while working so flying bees can return to their parent colony.
