I'm sorry, I combine colonies and install new (fall) queens to head the
combined colonies. Both queens are culled, as neither lived up to
performance expectations.
But no colonies are killed off.
"Bee-Keeping", by definition, would be the attempt to not kill bees.
Workers are a fungible commodity, for the most part, so there is never a
reason for workers to die.
