I just transferred my weakest hive (2 frames of bees and lots of honey left) to a nuc box. It was a cool evening so I did not linger looking for brood but I saw her majesty briefly. Some of the honey frames have what look like dysentary streaks on the cappings. Can I still let the bees of this hive eat it or should I scrape it off the foundation and toss it?
I also have two booming hives and I wonder if I could safely boost the population by adding a frame or two of brood and bees. Should I shake a couple frames, too, so I get enough bees to care for the brood added? Mixing different races this way would not matter would it?
