Sustainability in a small yard

I overwintered a few of the vertical double 5 frame nucs as described by Mr. Bush earlier. They worked out very well, and I split them 4 ways.

Making splits is one of the areas I part ways with the other NM beeks. They have a saying that you should not split after mid-summer. I say hogwash! That is when I make my winter nucs - to keep the others from throwing overcrowding swarms. Then if they survive winter, I have extras.
