Pre-Split Inspection - "Are the bees ready to split?" [Beekeeping 201 - Apiarist Tutorial/Advice]

This is the last inspection of the bees before we split the hives. In this Beekeeping 201 tutorial, John shows us some tips and tricks for inspections of hives with active colonies of bees that are ready to split. Join us as he talks about brood types, queen characteristics, timing for the split, and proper hive maintenance. Here are the first steps in "how to split a beehive".

What things should you look out for in your pre-split inspection? Are your bees ready to split? Do you need some advice from an apiarist tutorial? You've come to the right place. If you have any questions about how to split your hives, leave us a comment and we'll reply as soon as possible.
