Ok so here is the situation:
I have a few very nasty colonies which I have been lucky enough to be able to put them out of the way on a couple of farms presently on the OSR and mostly double brood with 3 supers.
I have my lovely calm bees at 2 other apiaries and plan to unite the nice colonies & Queens with the nasty ones.
This will have to be done at the location of the nasty colonies for obvious reasons.
Usually I would use the newspaper method but keep the Q+ colony below with the Q- colony above.
