Managed to make my first ever split,



After losing hives over winter thought I would attempt my first Split from my remaining hives

Took 1 frame of storms from one hive and 1 frame of droid from two other hives (3 frames in total) left 7 days knocked back and queen cells

Added a queen from black mountain honey - left 6 days before releasing - Quick Look today queen is out and moving well - eggs in hive

Well happy

Congratulations - now I've worked out the predictive text effects! 😁

It's exciting when you do it for the first time - and even more exciting when it works ! Well done, on your way to becoming a beekeeper. Be careful, though. expansion of your beekeeping is addictive !
