[QUOTE="tommy dave, post: 7354, member: 25"] if you're going to take the approach you have taken, move one hive half a metre left of the original position, and the other half a metre right. The foragers will approximately evenly distribute themselves between the two. About a week later, check the queenless split for emergency queen cells present, and give it a frame or two of capped brood from the queenright split to give it a numbers boost until the new queen hatches and gets going [/QUOTE]
