Uniting bees, 1 week later

[CliffDale]

Last Saturday I united 2 hives with a couple of nucs. Is it safe yet to go into the hives and move the frames around and remove one of the brood chambers?

Books say leave for a week so I assume everything has settled down now.

I do not want to disturb them too soon.

Should be fine by now. Are there scraps of nwespaper at the entrance?

 

[CliffDale]

Lots of shredded newspaper looking like tissue dust! (Could be because its the Daily Mail)?

Oh dear. Not two daily mail readers on the forum?

I just did a combine and left it a week, absolutely fine.

at least by combining colonies he has reduced the population of Daily Mail "reading" (super) organisms by 1!!!!!
