Take a strong hive.  Lift two frames of brood above the excluder, here
almost always above the single brood box. Best if there are two supers
pretty full. Place mixed brood in top super, plus one with pollen, or pollen
and brood. Place queens in appropriate cages and frame, and bobs your uncle.

If no nectar coming in feed.
