i've read several times about using a sheet of newspaper to combine colonies
together.  you stack a super on top of the one to be combined with, seperating
them with a sheet of newspaper.  the bees chew thru this soon, and the new
queen's phermones are integrated slowly, allowing acceptance.
why can't this technique be used to introduce a new queen?  i know
old bees are cantankerous, but a new queen with her workers should be accepted
this way.  correct?
