Title: using comb from existing hive to trap wild ground hive
Post by: roy on October 07, 2004, 02:33:12 pm

Yes i have never done this before
I have a cone set up to a hive box from a ground wild hive -- In the hive box i have some empty comb from an existing hive -- I have a marked queen still in package also in the hive box -- question -- do I need to use active brood comb in the hive box -- or will empty comb from existing brood hive work for the new queen after she is released
