Beehive Split – How to Split a Hive

Reported by judymurphy | June 24th, 2023 @ 04:40 AM

Beekeeping is a rewarding and fulfilling hobby, but it requires some delicate maintenance to preserve the health and productivity of the bees.

One necessary task is split a beehive, or dividing a colony into two separate hives. There are many reasons to split a hive, from controlling population growth to preventing swarming.

The procedure itself involves locating the queen bee and removing a portion of the brood and bees to a new hive, along with resources like honey and pollen.

One key factor to consider when splitting a hive is the timing, as it's best to wait until the colony is strong enough and has enough resources to thrive.

It's also important to ensure that the new hive has a strong queen and adequate resources to support the bees.

By splitting a hive properly, beekeepers can help their colonies thrive, increase honey production, and prevent overcrowding or other issues that could affect their bees' well-being.
