I've noticed charged queen cells and cant find the queen to do an AS
Is there anything wrong with doing a split like this
Move the original hive 20 meters
Put a new hive with frames on the original hive position
All the flying bees return to the original hive
All the brood and queen are 20 meters away
Put a frame of sealed brood and a frame of eggs back with the flying bees on the original site along with a queen cell
Remove all the other queen cells
Going to have to move fast (tomorrow) Dont want to lose a swarm
