I have a couple of splits that didn't successfully requeen. When doing a newspaper combine, does it matter which hive goes on top? The one with the queen or the one without? Asking because the one without the queen is in a better location.
My understanding is that the queen box goes on the bottom, because that's where the brood will be. But I don't think the bees care. You'll likely have to rearrange the frames later anyway, so... Experiment and let us know?
I thought the queen box went on the bottom as well. Do you think it would matter if I moved the queen box to the new location and then place the queen-less box on top?
I think I'm turning Japanese. I really think so. This tiny ad thinks so too:
