2 First year hives, from packages, 1 is booming constantly bearding and hanging overall seems packed. It is 8 frame 2 deeps, Q/E 1 med Super just about filled. I feel like they are crammed in even in yesterdays storm they were on the front getting soaked. Still feeding to help draw out foundations.
Should I split the hive so they have time to get going before winter? New hive with old Queen , and existing hive will make new Queen?
