Protocole de Division de Ruches sur Place.

This technical guide presents a method for dividing hives on-site, specifically designed for heavy colonies to avoid the constraints of transport. The protocol is based on the principle of permutation, using the instinct of foraging bees to return to their original location to instantly strengthen the new division. The documents detail crucial steps, such as mechanically cleaning the frames with water to remove chemical residues and introducing a virgin queen to ensure the survival of the new swarm. Finally, emphasis is placed on the rigorous management of queen cells and appropriate nutritional monitoring to prevent any risk of natural swarming. This approach allows for efficient multiplication of the apiary while minimizing complex handling and long-distance travel.
