As i know have one hive
i want to split at some point to make another.
Can you give me some pointers at what the hive stage should be before trying this.
At the moment i have a mixed hive type, lower BB 18" x 12" and on top is my MD .It has a ply cut out so as to make the 2 fit and what i thought was when the MD looks like it's getting filled up with brood and stores go for a split and let the bees sort out a new queen.
Would this work
