Fall Splits

Fall is a great time to make splits in preparation for the next Spring Nectar Flow. In this video, I will show you the way that I do it. These splits will produce queens of the perfect age for the flow and colonies that will be very productive by the time the flow starts

Chilton Bee Company sells nucs, mated queens, queen cells, honey, creamed honey, lip balm, lotion, soap, candles and wax melts
