One sheet or two?

[bpmurray]

I'm about to unite a Q- nuc to a healthy hive . Should I use a single sheet of newspaper between them or two? Dave Cushman says "one or two", but Roger Patterson says "2-3" - and that's on the same web page! What chance do we ordinary mortals have?

I do not use paper. Goes fine.

If the queen is valuable, I put the queen under " push in cage".

 

[Erichalfbee]

One sheet for me - never a problem.

Depends if you read the Sun or the Guardian? I think it just need to cover the area completely.

two is ample - if you read a quality paper then one

I use a natural aerosol air freshener (per ITLD). Much easier. Set up a three frame nuc this pm with frames from two different hives - one squirt and that's it..

I do two but I'm a nervous nelly.

One or two and if in doubt trust Dave.

If you use air freshener make sure it is not almond flavour! I use vanilla flavour. Having used it for a couple of years I would never go back to paper!

I didn't have air freshener so I used two sheets from the Irish Times, similar quality to the London variety.

The Belfast Telegraph and perhaps the Ballymeena Guardian are also excellent to create unity, when bees have been divided into separate communities and a decision is made to bring them together.

Very good #15

Daily post for me two sheets side by side.
