Splitting Backyard Colonies 6 21 03

Splitting my backyard colonies to prevent swarming. That wasn't my plan when I started, but a queen cell on the 2nd frame let me know that was their plan.
This is a prior video; I'm re-posting because I accidentally uploaded a lower quality video.

If the original hive dose not get a queen after the split, how do you re-interduce the queen back into reginal hive?

When the original hive doesn't make a new queen, I put a sheet of screen above it, then stack the box with the old queen on top of that. The queen and brood pheromones pass through the screen, and soon the bottom portion is convinced they have a queen again. After 2-3 days I remove the screen.
You can do the same thing with newspaper, but I like using the screen because, occasionally, I'll find evidence of a new queen (eggs/larva) in the bottom box at the last moment (as in, they had a new queen but she hadn't started laying yet). When that happens, I just separate the hives again. If I only used newspaper, the queens would have fought and only one would be alive (which is fine if you don't need an extra queen).
