Normally on splits, I have already purchased new queens. I decided for the first time to do something different with one hive. Call it my own little experiment.
I split a really strong 2 brood chamber hive last Wednesday night and moved both of them to a new location. One box has the original queen. The other is queenless. What I am wanting is for them to make a new queen.
Here are my questions...
1. How long before the queenless begins to make a queen cell?
2. Is there a semi-normal location that these cells would appear?
Appreciate all you guys...
