New Bee
I have two hives and had yet another swarm (a caste I think) from hive 1, which I caught in a box. Having nowhere to put it I asked an experienced beekeeper what to do and he said dump them on the floor in front of hive 2 and they will sort themselves out.
I thought this a bit strange as I thought they would fight - which they did. The caste bees then collected under the hive which has a mesh floor. I expected them to fly away or starve to death!
This happened on 19 May. They are still alive today 24 May and I don't know what to do with them.
Any ideas?
