I have two swarms I got mid summer. Both hives have brood. Both are one deep box. One has 7 frames built out with brood/pollen/honey and the other has 4 frames built out. The guys on Beesource said to leave them separate to make it thru the winter with feeding, if necessary. I was wondering if I should combine them to at least make sure one hive makes it thru the winter. I have good access to goldenrod so I should have some fall stores on the way. I could always move the smaller hive to a Nuc box for the winter if needed.
Anybody dealt with something like this in the past?
