I have always liked the idea of walk away splits, but have heard that the 
bees will in many cases use a larvae that is on the old side and therefore 
the quality of the queen would not be as good.

Any studies on this? I have noticed in one of the later Bee Mags(cant find 
it yet) that one of the pioneers would induce bees to use larvae on the edge 
of combs to avoid old larvae.
