Hi
I have a large colony of light coloured Carnolian type bees that are very prolific. My question is this, is it too late in the year to make a split and introduce a new queen in to the new nuc. Their is little stores in the way of honey but plenty of polen. I would obviously need to feed them up. The other thing is treating them for varoa as I havent seen any as of yet without putting them off feeding up for winter. Your comments please.
