This hive was bursting with bees and needed splitting--
Split they did! As soon as the sun broke out for a brief time this afternoon--
What were they thinking?
Got 'Em Back
Housed in a deep and two mediums
Then the rains came--
Aftermath
I guess I don't need to split this hive after all. Thanks to Marc Stadiem and Tim Goetz for helping with the "split".

Now what are you going to do with the dozen or so queen cells that are in the orange hive?
Want to borrow 10 nuc boxes??

Depending on how many queen cells there are maybe pull a frame with some queen cells and a couple of frames of honey and pollen shake in some house bees and start a nuc.
Just some thoughts.
