Q & A

I have one over wintered hive doing great. I have one new colony in another hive created from a package 11 days ago. I plan on adding a second deep brood box to the new package hive. Can I at the same time move a frame of brood into the new top box of the package hive? My thinking is this will encourage the package hive to build out the second box quicker. The box/frames I'm adding is from a colony that almost made over the Winter but did about two months ago. The box I'm going to put on top is completely build out comb and about three full frames of honey. I might do this a week from now. I know one of the risks is chilled/dead brood. Any thoughts?
