adding bees to a colony with the newspaper bag method
I still have got a few small colonies which would benefit from some extra bees and brood.
Adding frames of brood without bees can lead to chilled brood, as there might not be enough bees around to keep them warm, especially as the nights are getting colder now.
I found Dave Cushman's page about the newspaper bag method (http://website.lineone.net/~dave.cushman/newspaperbag.html) and used my frame feeder as a former. Luckily a sheet of the Orcadian makes a perfect bag over it, without any cutting.
Before I give it a try: Has anybody else got experience with this method?
Any useful tips?
Cheers, Doris
