The method described here is in the event you are insecure about your ability to see the queen or if you want to be completely sure that even if you didn't see her, she wasn't hiding on the bottom or in a cell. Using this method makes it virtually impossible to move the queen accidentally.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-72979237449231183532016-08-19T20:06:13.192-04:002016-08-19T20:06:13.192-04:00why not just inspect the one frame to see there is...why not just inspect the one frame to see there is no queen on it ha. tedwordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454555744354351433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-34933786432756708362016-05-23T17:08:15.820-04:002016-05-23T17:08:15.820-04:00In your particular case, it would be better to com...In your particular case, it would be better to combine the two hives back together, making sure they have enough available space.

I have only 2 hives 1 of which is my re-captured main swarm. The other one is currently quuenless and my 1st attempt of raising a queen using swarm cells (reducing them down to 2 to avoid cast swarm) seems to have failed. I have added a frame of young larvae and eggs to my queenless hive but I assume I can only afford to remove 1 more frame at best without weakening my other hive..Would re-uniting the 2 hives be a better option in that case?

Also if you are queenless and needing the 1 to 4 day old eggs for them to make a new queen it stands to reason the hive with a queen has a better chance of making a new queen than the queenless hive. So if you mistakenly move the queen you may set the queenright hive back but have actually increased your odds of both hives surviving overall.<br /><br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.com
