I'm about to take delivery of not one but two swarms.
Since I don't have two spare hives, I plan to put one swarm in a brood box, the other in a super on top, and leave them there with just a sheet of newspaper between them, hoping they will unite.
I guess the queens will fight it out for top dog status, then they'll get on with it.
What's wrong with this plan (if anything)?
Thanks.
