I'm planning to try some fall splits using queen cells - maybe
overwintering as five-frame nucs. As soon as the sourwood flow (if any) is
over (mid-July) I'll be putting on Apistan strips. I'd like to go ahead and
split them shortly therafter.

Here's the question: Any problem rearing and mating queens while the strips
are on?
