So I mowed and cleared grass from the bee yards and the electric fence. It looks much better and I found out the hard way that the fence is working!

It is a very common priactce to take bees from one hive and literly dump them into a different hive to help them. They do quite well that way. The queen will only work with one hive though. I need a new queen. I may take eggs/larvae from hive #2 and put it in hive #1. The bees will then raise a new queen.
