    Hive split without finding Queen.

    Thank you for the replies, however the question was not about how to find a Queen, it was if the method of splitting the hive worked. It would be appreciated if timing of using this method could be given by a Forum member who has used the technique.

    Wax moth invasion

    I had bad case of wax moth damage last year. They made a hell of a mess, including burrowing into my wooden supers Is it possible to repair the damage with filler or would this start other problems. Is it better to let the Bees sort them out?.

    Black mead

    Hi Jambo, Sorry I have not replied to your question. I used 3lb honey to the gallon ( i made 10 gallons ) and retained the colour by wrapping 5 gal. fermenters in black bin bags. The result is very dry but I hope that will improve on keeping.
