Now that I set up the new outyard on higher ground Monday, it is time to split the home hives.
I’m at 2 home hives now that the 2 nucs are at the outyard. The home hives are getting big and can afford a split. They now have feed and should be good to go for making queens while i’m gone. I noticed they are almost done fixing the flood comb I gave them. So I gave them more after I pulled 5 frames each. These are summer splits and need to be bigger. 3-4 frames brood 1 resources so 5 frames not 3. I’ll check on them on Saturday if they are building cells. Queen check on 17AUG (25days).
In sad news, when I visited the flooded yard, the hive I thought survived, was dead. It was just robbers.
