Hello guys!

I am a new beekeper from Albania.I have a hive who has 2 years.I want to split this have because I am afraid
that my bees will swarm.
I want to make the split with the nucleus hive.Can you tell me all the steps that I should take.
It is right to split this colony or no??

I would want to make a split so I have more than one hive, just as an insurance to back up the first hive.

There are multiple ways to make splits;
