Something else that a friend of mine tried that worked was to throw
the hives together and then pour a large quantity of water into the
hive.  The bees got so busy cleaning out the water that they forgot
that they were supposed to fight, and by the time they finished, the
scents of the two hives had merged.  The queens then fought it out,
and the combined hive was fine.
