I'm looking for advice from those who use the double screen/snelgrove board for splits. This year was the first time that I had a snelgrove split fail on me, no queen produced. I split March 26th and just looked April 29th. No queen, so I recombined the two deeps. There was a medium between the two deeps and I took the division board out. So now I have a deep a medium and a deep. I'm thinking that I may need to put the 2 deeps together and mix the brood chambers? This is the first time in 4 years that I've had a failure using this system and I'd like to hear how you have handled this situation.
I'm down to 2 queen rite colonies and one other colony that now has 4 capped queen cells that hopefully recover. I'm kind of gun shy about moving frames from that colony as it was laying worker and I took the frame from a virgin queen that probably was killed after making queen cells. Any help appreciated!
