Hi Peter:
I believe you can avoid the problem of bees leaving the splits and going
back to the old queen by leaving the splits at the old location and moving
the old bees to the new one. None of the bees with the splits will leave and
any old foragers that come back will add strength to the splits.
Best regards
Donald Aitken
