Title: First Ever Split!!
Post by: Donovan J on June 19, 2019, 11:22:27 PM
In the last post I did I talked about how my hive is trying to run away. Luckily they did not while i was at school and was able to put the queen and a few frames of resources into a whole new hive. Queen Rose is now in a brand new hive and her successor is awaiting in the old hive. Also had a few bees ride on me to my house. They were returned safely.

If you mean the new queen returning from her mating flight, I don?t think that is normally a problem.

If you are having trouble resizing your pictures, check out Salty?s thread called Posting a picture. He was having the same problem recently.

Sometimes the queens can drift and end up in the wrong hive. If that happens I will supply a frame of eggs and larva from the Rose hive to the queen-less hive and they can make more cells.
