[QUOTE="Just Curious, post: 359226, member: 4712"] I have never tried to split a hive... I would not mind trying it as the bees don't worry me. But with the luck that I have had with bees so far (4 years of playing now), I would buy a queen, split the hive, and the half that I put in with the "New" queen will also have the "Old" queen... I have done the same thing with the package of bees that I get but I use the granulated (Cream) honey to plug the hole in the queen cage... I don't know what I am doing wrong, I use the miticides in the fall and in general take pretty good care of the hives... But the fact that I have had one now make it through the winter, I am a step further along than I have ever gotten before! :D Have you found any tricks to quickly locating the queen in a hive?
