Hello all,
Last night, I united two colonies with no problems (I hope!). Anyway, there were a few stragglers on the site of the old colony (q-), so I put a BB there to collect them.
There are enough of them for me to want to add to the united hive, but how best to do it? Don't really want to open up again, as q- colony are pretty hacked off already... Can I (in the nicest sense) dump them in front of the other hives and let them make their way in? Is this best done in evening?
Thanks in advance!
