How to Split a Hive | Step-by-step tutorial from a Beekeeper [Beekeeping 201] - SPRING 2022
Spring is here, which means it's time to learn how to split a hive! This technique allows you to control the "swarm" and gives the flexibility needed for a successful hive split on YOUR time. In this step-by-step beekeeping tutorial we temporarily place the queen of a hive in a queen catcher (clip), and utilize resources from the current hive to start and supplement the split hive. John gives excellent advice for anyone attempting to split their hives this Spring. 2022 is your year for maximizing your bees' health and wellness.
You'll see us label certain videos as "Beekeeping 201", but that doesn't mean you have to be a professional apiarist to understand or follow the directions/advice. These are simply techniques that you may need a little extra knowledge, a certain tool, or some preparation to perform. Don't be intimidated, learn as much as possible and you can absolutely raise a healthy, vibrant hive of bees.
