Even here in CT by the end of June I am looking to combine my weaker
colonies and requeen a bit. Were I to make a split it would be more on the
order of 5 hives made into 6 and then only if I had some spare drawn
foundation.
Dandylion bloom through apple is a good time to make splits here in the
Northeast because they can build up unmolested by robbers during clover
through privet.
