When is the best time to make hive splits,all summer or fall or spring ? How late in the summer can you do splits ?
Acts2:37: Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39: For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40: And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation

Here where I'm at it's April, May, and June. Can stretch it into July some years, depending on weather and nectar flows and beehive strength, and some start in March as an early date.

we made some splits after our spring flow. You can split later but you will probably need to feed all fall and winter to help them make it to spring. Having a queen ready for the split would help.
