Most people combine the colony in Missouri after the honey flow has started. About June 10th. I assume you still live in Missouri! eggs layed after then will not help with the main honey flow and when they become workers will eat a huge amount of your honey crop if supers are not pulled after main flow is over. I assume they are still seperate so if you want increase you could seperate and go thru the winter with two colonies. Sincerely, Bob Harrison
