I split a hive last week and replaced the old frames with partically drawn frames.
the split hive seems to be doing well. I saw three emergency queen cells and I think they had larvae in each.
The donor hive is still going crazy. There two full deeps and bees on all 20 frames. If I split again would it severely deminish my honey crop?
The dandelions are in full bloom here and the fruit trees are getting going. I'd like to put on a super and see what happens
Incedently, how long before those emergency queen cells get capped?
