Hi All
 
I came across a statement from an experienced beekeeper recently, to the
effect that if you mix bees from three hives that they will not fight.
 
Suppose that you have two hives A and B beside one another. Move both
several metres away, and place Hive C half way between where A and B stood.
You will now end up mixing in C, the bees from A B and C and according to my
friend - no fighting.
 
Comments please for which I will be grateful.
 
Sincerely
Tom Barrett
