M unfamiliar with the newsprint method.
I went down tonight and dug through the box and couldn't find a queen. Doesn't mean there wasn't one but I didn't see her and they were cleaning the old shitty comb I had put in their box. I dug into another strong hive and dug out a frame with some capped brood and some visible larvae. It was getting too late and the bees were getting pissy so I only added that single frame. Still not sure there is a hive that will be sound to survive a winter.
On the bright side, I opened some other to check and they made honey this week. I'll have 10-15 frames of comb honey. Maybe I'll have time tomorrow night to harvest some of that.
