I like what you do, well explained I am looking at a 2 queen system to use on a bee trailor(not yet finished) .The hives will be permanently on the trailer. Next month I will trial side by side brood boxes on the deck with honey above, If it works well I will reduce my hive numbers and get more trailers. I did your system on a winter Karri flow during winter with some week hives it worked but in the spring the Q.below didn't requeen after swarming that's ok I got rid of a poor Q and made lots of honey

Proof that huge hives are a lot more productive

You must have left out some of the process in your video....when you were reassembling the hive I saw no way to keep the two queens separated....and how do you keep rain from getting in the hive when you offset the boxes......seems possible...but from the video and discussion I never saw or heard...the convincing methodology that would work.....

He removed the 2nd queen he not running a 2 queen colony. He in reality just joining two different colonies. A two queen colony can be used often call a super hive. Split a double deep brood boxes with a double screen board for 24 hour add a laying queen let her lay for 7 days. Remove the double screen board add a queen xcluder then another queen xcluder on top of top brood boxes. Then add supers . Worker bees will everyone will get along. Studies show only a 50 to 60% increase in honey production on the total number of test hive. A few in the study did produce 300% more honey. Some of the hive didnt have there queen excepted "which does happen" so that would show zero %increase. If I remember right the study was done by Floyd Moeller.

When you merge both hives into one only queen , do they swarm ? How often? Or how you control that situation. Surprise me and tell me they don’t swarm... Regards. Fred.

My nucs have screened bottom too. After mating, sometimes I find my queens under the screen trying to get in, they cant find the entrance. Do you have the same problem too?

Thank you all. How long do you keep in the 2 queen hive? You removed 1 queen in a nuc. I gather to make more honey. Thank you
