I have a hive that is simply bursting with bees. The hive consists of three deeps and 1 mid. The top deep and the mid are full of honey (and bees). What I'm thinking about doing is taking 1 of the deeps and moving it to another location to start another hive.
My question is, do I need to have another queen to place in the deep that I move or will the bees just make another queen? Also, how far away should i move the deep? from the parent hive? Any input is greatly appreciated.
