Introducing Caged Queen and Splitting Hive (Most Effective Method)!

This video has a primary and secondary point. The first is a method that can be used to get a purchased queen successfully accepted by a hive. Mainly this involved using very young bees that are more likely to accept a new queen and give them no options to re-queen themselves (meaning don't add any frames with eggs on them). The secondary message is to split a hive successfully. In my video, I am trying to keep the splits small so I use only a couple of frames to start the hives. However, if you want to make a full split, just use more frames of brood, though it is definitely best if you avoid eggs. If getting frames with eggs is unavoidable, just keep the extra hive body on the hive for at least three days, then make you split! Hope you like it, it is the easiest and best way to be almost 100% sure that your queen investment will not die!
