I recently had a friend take my hive because she lived near a place where there was a swarm in a tree and was going to try to put them into my hive. She said that if she put 4 used frames into my new box, the bees would be more likely to go in. 2 months later and near the end of the bee season, my box is back home empty, except of course for the used frames.
If it's not too late, will these frames hinder my efforts to get any more bees for the remainder of the spring?
