Had a look on Monday 16th.
But I could not find the Queen.
The 6 queen cell were bigger and found 2 more on frame 3.
So thought I leave it till Friday (today.)
Again I could not find the Queen.
This is the 3rd year in a row I have split the hive without finding the Queen.
Moved the hive (left) and placed a new hive with foundation and a few drawn comb in old place (right).
Moved the frame with the 6 Queen cell on to the right hive and moved an extra frame for luck.
Left frame 3 in the left hive.
Will find out next week witch Hive has the Queen,
by finding eggs.
Also added a Super.
Right Hive.
4 frames of brood
Top Super 3/4.
Left Hive.
14 frames of brood
Top super 4/5 just the outside frames needs capping.
2nd super. Empty.
