Beekeeping: Splitting a Split.

I took 3 frames of brood, with bees, minus the queens out of 2 hives as a preemptive swarm control measure. I combined them in a 10 frame super flanked by frames of fresh foundation. Then brought them home, far enough away so that the bees didn't go back to their original hives. Five days later, I'm splitting it into two colonies with emergency queen cells going into each split.

Hey Jeff and Wilma. As always loving your work. So if I want create a new split I need about 5 frames of brood, pollen, nectar and nursery bees. Then the bees will raise their own emergency Queen. I am hoping to split my hive in the coming weeks and will initially transfer the 5 frames into a separate box and put a queen excluder under it allowing the nursery bees to come up into the new box leaving the Queen behind. I have to go back and watch some of your older videos. Cheers Stephen

Jeff, where does brood come from if there's no queen? Who lays the queen cell egg if there's no queen? We miss you guys when you are too busy for CZcams!
