Well this is a strange one…
I am declaring bankruptcy on the left hive. No queen, when I tried to move some brood over they didn’t make a queen.
I took off all the deeps from the left hide and shook off the few bees (<100) that were still there.
On the right hive I collected frames with both capped brood and uncapped brood – 2 from the top and 1 from the bottom shaking off as many bees as possible.
I then swapped the mostly empty frames from the old dead hive to the open spots.
Added a queen excluder on top of the 2 deeps on the right. I will move this new box in the morning onto the base.
