Hi All
Just thought I would see if any of you can offer me some advice about using two different types of hive. I currently have a three hive site where I use 12x14 national brood boxes. In this coming year I am looking to establish a second site by artificially swarming one/two of my existing colonies. One of the things we have been looking at is the use of poly hives but the only ones I can find are langstroth. Is there an easy (ish) way I could artificially swarm my existing colonies into these or would it prove too difficult.
Hope my above question makes sense
Thanks
