Splits- Same Yard- Different Yard?

[sc-bee]

How many do splits and leave them in the same yard. If you do splits and leave them in the same yard, what is your method? Ex. How many frames? Shake extra bees? Location of splits when finished: old queen moved away from parent hive same yard, queenless split in location of parent hive etc? I always take mine away but have a friend that don't have that luxury. And sometimes I would prefer to just not haul them. Details of splits remaining in same yard would be appreciated :-D

i left all my splits in the same yard last year and i've done two so far this year.
i a frame of emerging brood and one with open brood with all the bees and the queen along with a frame of pollen and a frame of nectar/honey.  i may or may not shake a couple of frames of nurse bees in and i block most of the entrance with pine straw or grass.  i use a division board/frame feeder for the fifth spot but i don't feed until close to dark the following day (if at all).  my hives sit about a foot off the ground so i prop a stick or something against the landing board so the bees that always end up on the ground will follow it up.  i make my splits between sunset and dark when ever i can because the bees tend to crawl instead of fly.
my summer splits will be moved to outyards this year just because i need to set up some new yards.  next spring i'll let the bees open mate in those yards so i can bring some diversity back to the queen mating yard the following year.

While I have moved some I usually don't. I let the flying bees return to the old hive. I make sure to put at least one frame of emerging brood in the nuc. These bees and the nurse bees that were transferred will call the nuc home.

I basically do what 10framer does. I do put a oak stick in front of the entrance so that they have to crawl over or around. Seems they get confused by that and do an orientation flight after flying sideways in front of the hive for a few minutes.

I shake extra young bees in with the split to compensate for drift.  For walkaway splits I think I am copying Mr. Bush when I have the entrances side by side to let the bees sort it out.  If one suffers too badly from drift.  I exchange it with a boomer so the split picks up filed force.
