How To Split Hives x3 | Increase Your Apiary | Swarm Prevention 

Knowing how to split a beehive is a useful skill for any beekeeper. When colonies become over crowded they are prone to swarming. By splitting a hive successfully, the beekeeper does not lose bees to a swarm. Also, this is also a great way to increase your hive numbers. Thank you for watching, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE.

Very good instructional video. Thank you for taking the time.

Nice work.

Thank you! This is such a helpful video

Been thinking about splitting my 17 frame Lazutin hives in half. They haven't used all the space in almost 3 years. But with the record late season snow in the U.P. I really want to see how they wintered first. Memorial weekend is almost here. Which it still gets down to freezing at night into June. I left 75-80 lbs of honey and they have did good previous winters. But it wasn't a late spring. For me taking notes this year is very important. Need to pay attention to bloom timing. Berry season is the best flow even better if basswoods bloom. So wanting early blooms to hopefully build bees up before berry blooms.

With 4 frames of brood and a mated queen, will the splits make a good honey crop? If you would have left 6 frames of brood in just 2 hive split would they swarm this year? You were sure lucky to find the queen so quickly. Tonight the casino is calling. LOL Sounds like you were suffering from allergies or a bad cold. Hope it gets better soon. Thanks for the good video. I'm 200-300 miles north of you so it will be another 2 weeks for splits here.

Nice splits

When are you going to release the queen?

Do you decide on a split based on the number a full seams of bees? 80% full or less?

What is the purpose of the hydrogen peroxide?
