Combine with stronger colony

Combining a weak colony with a stronger, healthy colony is a common strategy to boost bee numbers and resources in spring. The bees from the weak colony will integrate into the stronger colony, increasing its overall population and foraging force. The stronger colony provides support and resources to the weak colony, aiding in its recovery. Combining is a DIY approach and is cost-effective. The newspaper combine method is typically used for merging colonies. Newspaper and a hive tool are the primary materials needed for combining.
