Today I found some queen cells in on of my hives so I decided it was early
enough in the season to split this colony.
 
Here's what I did:
 
Put the queen cell in the lower hive with all the field bees. Put the queen
with 1/2 of the brood  above a double sceen board.
 
Will this work?
 
If not,  what is the easiest way to split hives with queen cells?
 
Are there any queens shipping yet?
 
THanks for input. This list is a great way to share information and solve
problems.
