I have a honey pot colony that recently lost their queen and I have a new colony on the way so I can give the queenless colonies brood to the one with a queen. I feel really bad for the workers without a queen because they will have nothing to do. Is there a way that I can transfer the workers from my queenless colony to the colony with a queen?

You can try vinegar dipping them, however euthanizing them is easy and less hassel.

I'll try the vinegar. Is there any guides on how to do it? Or do I just grab them with my feather weight tweezers and dip them in vinegar then dry them off with a q-tip? Also what kind of vinegar should I use?
