So I'm kind of struggling with the logistics of dealing with this situation. I'd like to get the queen under the cinder block (presuming I can find her) into the queenless split, but they have queen cells that may be hatching already, so I'm thinking that if I wait until their new queen is laying it'll be easier to find her, pinch her, and replace her with this good queen. But I'm out of equipment and don't have any nucs, so I have this crazy idea. Could I cut these combs out, rubber band them to frames, and put them in a box above the split on a solid inner cover, so the bees can't get to each other, and give the top box a top entrance, and have them there just for like a week until I can find the queen in the bottom box to remove her and then combine the two? Is this totally insane? Any better ideas?
