Does anyone here use a double screen to increase hive population. I have a hive with a low population, and think that introducing another queen would help. Also, I don't have any frames of brood to add, so that's out of the question. Anyone done this?
There are many ways to use a double screen to make increase. I have tried some of them. Putting it between two brood boxes with brood is simple and works well.
What is a double screen? Steve

I use them for introducing queens. You can see pictures here too.

That's a good site - thanks. But what if you don't have enough brood to make an "introductory nuc?"
