Our apiary is booming and we decided to share how we do our walk-away hive splits! It is a quick and easy way to double your hives and let your bees raise their own queen!

I don't understand all of the thumbs down. If you're a beginner and looking for videos on how to do a walk away split then this video does a good job of doing that. Double thumbs up for me. Thanks!

This video was super helpful. Thank you for posting! I have a hive I need to split and your video was by far the best of the rest. Appreciate you!

Hello from Florida. I expect that I am going to get a lot of new input for my brain. I have mainly been watching goats, but your channel is a breath of fresh air. Enjoy your content greatly. :-)

Good strong splits, basically a pre-emptive Pagden artificial swarm. You said 3 weeks for the queen to hatch it will be 16 days. Really you need to go into the split and knock down some of the queen cells especially the ones that could already be capped as these queens will be more worker like (cells drawn from 3-4 day old grubs would be in the process of being capped, 31st March, 4 day old grub would be capped by 4th April) . Just leave open cells with grubs in now, better queens, less likely to be superseded later on. There will be an element of silent robbing for a few days and then all should be fine. Nice to see strong splits being performed. Good luck.

Great job. Very well presented. Easy to follow.
I guess, the only thing more to say is, Thank You. 😎🐝🐝🐝

[bjoartec]

Lucky guy your husband !... you-re so cute !...., thanks for the video, I do have 3 hives in FL !...

Great videos and i love the gentleness you have with the bees. Unlike many beekeepers who have been more attracted to the commercial benefits of beekeeping, one can see and hear your care and passion for the bees. Thank you. So i am very new to beekeeping with only 2 hives and loving it. Although i’m far from any possible splits now, do i have a question after seeing thus walk away splits video. Would the bees in the split not return to the main hive being that you placed them so close to one another? Take care, Eric

What a great video.. We haven't tried that with our bees but looking forward to trying it
