I just finished adding supers to on hive. During the winter I was feeding
this colony of bees with the bag type feeder which utilizes a small super
that is placed on top of the hive body. Once the bees had finished off the
sacks of sugar water they built comb in the area. Today I scaped the comb
off the top board and placed the comb on top of the top bars of the bee
hive so I could add the queen excluder and my supers. It was pretty messy.
Should have I, or shouldn't have I done this. What are the consequences
or results?
Also, I have one hive that is queenless and has laying workers. I placed
two frames of brood from a strong hive into this hive. I was told to do
this so they would develop a new queen. I did this about 7 days ago. I
checked today and did not notice any new queen cells. I need some help on
this one. Anybody got any advice. What next?
