In that video he mentions placing hives away from the host hive.

In the past I've split a hive and placed it right next to the mother hive. Is this not an effective way of going about doing it? Will the bees likely just go back into their mother hive?

That's what I've been doing. It seems to work fine. A few foragers go back to the mother hive but the foraging force quickly recovers.
