Hi everyone i would like this question answering fairly quick if possable as i would like to do it tonight//// a swarm that i got 3 weeks ago has swarmed and left one unsealed queen cell and 3 frames of bees and brood. Next to this colony is a small colony with a queen that has been laying about 3 weeks // would it be ok to give the brood to the colony with queen then put the one thats swarmed on top of this colony with newspaper in between? Thanks
 
I'd say it should work fine, if you destroy any cells first . Why move the brood first ?
Why not simply unite the two boxes then rationalise the frames in a few days once theyve united.
 
Thanks 4 advice job done left everything in q less box placed on top of queen* with newspaper in between will have a look in a day or three
