[QUOTE="James, post: 7366, member: 212"] Spliting 101. Making up th duds and deads .... we'll start on that next weeks as the cells become available. So on Thursday Friday this week we'll go around and whack queen excluders in the strong double brood boxes. Mon ,Tuesday, Wednesday next week , three or so days later, we'll go around and look in those double broods for eggs. The box with the eggs has the queen. We'll make sure she has at least four frames of brood and bees, and pop her down on a dead bottom board. It may be on the same pallet, or the next door pallet, or if there are no deads in the yard we'll take along a truck load of pallets and move the queen right boxes away one evening. We'll leave the queenlesss brood boxes for a day and then introduce a cell wrapped in masking tape. Most important of all, we'll make sure thay have a couple of frames of Kai. [/QUOTE]
