Hello everyone,
I've been reading with interest for a while, but this is my first post. I want to unite a queen-right colony with a queenless colony using the newspaper method. What do I do with the queen excluders? Leave them off till I rearrange the brood boxes after a few days/week (well, how long, the books differ!) or leave them on. What about honey supers? Where do they go?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
