Hi everybody,
I have now hived 3 swarms in the last 3 weeks.  2 of them come from a split
done on May 10. Now, June 4 th, the parent hives are side by side with the
new hives.

My intentions were to unite those hives together in one week time from now.

Question: For maximum honey yield, should I unite and if so when?
               A friend tells me to keep them separate but I am afraid to
miss the main honey flow unless the flow comes later?
Over here the lupines are in full bloom and daysies are coming soon.
I am in Pemberton BC 100 mi North of Vancouver
Thanks for the help.
