How to Split a Beehive into 2 Nucs and Parent Colony #Beekeeping Basics - The Norfolk Honey Co

How to Split a Beehive into 2 Nucs and Parent Colony #Beekeeping Basics - The Norfolk Honey Co Want to raise some new queens? Want to develop more colonies? I show you how with a really simple method of splitting a beehive into two nucleus colonies whilst keeping the parent queen in a strong honey production colony. Once complete, you will have two newly mated queens to use as replacements or two new nucleus colonies that can be placed into full size hives ready to build up through the Summer. All this while maintaining the parent colony as a honey production colony. This is one of the best ways to build stock or raise new queens with the minimum amount of equipment.
