My wife managed to collect and house a swarm about 8 weeks ago (while I was away) into an old cardboard archive box which has continued to sit in the middle of the lawn with a plastic tablecloth over it. Clearly lots of comb etc in there now (but I can't really inspect it). I've got three other Langstroth hives. Any suggestions as to how to merge the archive box bees (and ideally wild comb/brood if I can get it off the cardboard lid) into one of the other hives?
(The archive box made a really good emergency hive for a swarm by the way and my missus had never done anything with bees before)
