Q- Unite To Q+ Hive.

[Millet]

Just as i had suspected the virgin Queen from the artificial swarm i did several weeks back did not make it, there was no sign of a Queen / eggs or brood, so i united the Q- box onto the Q+ side two days ago as advised(thank you for the advice ) through news paper.
That is me back to one hive that is now double brood boxes with a hell of a lot of bees in there, i even had to take the entrance block out to allow them access and i did think removing the entrance block would allow the flying bees a better chance of begging there way in to there original spot.
All looks good today with treble the workforce taking in pollen and whatever else, here is hoping i have one strong colony for this summer flow as i took 9 super frames from the Q- side that produced the best honey i have tasted 12lb of it, the rape must have been stored in the brood box as the supers read 16.5 on the refractometer and none of it had or has set solid yet, i just need to find plenty of friends now to give it to. .
Thank you everyone for the helpful advice i have already received over the past year and thank you again in advance for any help in the future.

Watch out for them making swarm preps again

Watch out for them making swarm preps again

They have room Erica but i know that makes no difference, my weekly inspections will commence, they are on double brood and two supers on top for good measure at the moment, can i stick the 9 wet exacted frames back into a super to help them along or should i leave them out.

Here is a picture of Heaven, i have not tasted or smelt nothing so nice and i do not have a sweet tooth.

Lovely the best you'll ever taste.
Re the super. If your two supers have honey and bees in then put the extracted one back on
