[QUOTE="Josh, post: 7566, member: 16"] That reminds me… [USER=267]@boyesee[/USER] FYI. I chose to try vertical split because, as I understand it, you can combine again easily if it fails. And it requires no queen rearing or extra gear (split boards are easy DIY). The main reason, I’ve destroyed two other hives in previous seasons trying to divide like you did (as described in many books etc) ‘cos it looked easy and less input/schedule required. I think my attempts failed because I didn’t appreciate just how strong the “parent hive” had to be, to make two self sufficient “split hives” [/QUOTE]
