>I am planning on killing the swarm's queen, putting the frames in two
individual brood boxes and uniting them with the old newspaper trick.

Probably the simplest way would be to just put one box on top of another
and not worry about newspapers, sprays, or elixirs. Killing one of the
queens a day or so prior to uniting will eliminate any queen pheremone in
that nuc. Realizing they are queenless, those bees will very likely accept
the new queen.

Dick Allen
