Queens

Post by Kurt Bower »

I know a lot of people are interested in getting queens and making splits.
As far as I know, there are no queens currently available.
Does anyone have a source that can be tapped?
Seems early doesnt it? I know of several people that want to splits but cant because of the timing. Hope they dont swarm.

I would split as soon as the queen cells are capped. In fact, I split one hive monday, Mar. 13.
