It's always good to hear from you jtcmedic. Congratulation on doubling you hives! Did you choose any particular method to do so?

Just been doing the ots splits and and did it heavy. Hit 30 hives gonna hang out here for a bit and make some splits and sell some next year and just keep making some honey. Was able to see which hives did better and gonna try grafting next year and try to isolate the queens. Couple of my queens this year made 3 supers of honey which for me is great, so all and all been good. How are your ladies doing.

I had a good year also. Last year I had several swarms. Not so much this year. I also tried the double screen divider after I  extracted this year. I was VERY pleased with the results....
