Hi everyone my ten frame hive died this winter during the short week of cold we actually had this winter. The 8 frame is still alive. The ten frame is still full of honey. Its supposed to be 70 here Wednesday which is very odd should i take the frames from the ten frame and put them into the 8 frame the 8 frame hive has been alive for three years. Thanks, Colby

Colbees,
That depends on how strong the hive is. If it is a real strong hive, I would say yes. If the box is mostly empty, then no.

or just let them rob out the dead hive.  They'll get at it if they need it.
