Last year was my first keeping a hive, and unfortunately, my mentor
moved almost as soon as I got set up, so I've been on my own fumbling
around. I have other liverstock, but seem to know less about what to
do with the bees then anything else.
I put two deep boxes on them last year, and they filled it, and I
think I've managed to see them thru the winter.
Now, what do I do?
What do I look for to tell if they're strong enough to split, and if
they're not, how do I go about removing the second box?
Any good book recommendations on splitting?
thanks,
tom
