[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11622, member: 30"] its not something i can answer. i don't know anyone up here that runs dual queens, it tends to be a southern thing. i only do it as a last ditch effort to save a hive. they usually don't get split apart until swarming season is over. i would be inclined to treat it like doing a half split. move one hive aside and put all the brood in that hive. so old hive gets no brood but has queen. new hive has all brood but minimal bees.
