Simple question: Weak hive getting robbed by strong hives. Is it worth the work to save it? Why? Aren't weaker ones lessor for health? Production?.....or other reason you want to save it? In the feral they just go.....so why not simply just replace it later from a split from a strong colony? respectfully submitted, Dee A.
