Uniting colonies of different sizes

[StephenT]

I just have bees at 3 different sites in urban settings and don't have ready access to somewhere more remote. And I really don't fancy trying to move this monster, let alone through someones house to get out the front door . Would have probably been easier to make them hopelessly queenless and then give them a frame of eggs from a nice hive, although the process of shaking bees off all the frames to remove QCs would result in too many defensive bees in the air. I'll try the screen method originally suggested.
