I would like any advice. I have three hive that overwintered very
well.Two hives are still in the bottom supers with plenty of honey in
the top supers,one is in the top with plenty of stores.All three have at
the very least 40 pounds of honey stores left.
I started feeding them pollen substitute and half and half sugar water
Today. I live in Missouri
and the weather as been so warm I am thinking we will have an early
spring. I am planing on splitting these hives to make six more hives.
My question is am I to early ? should I not even do this since they have
plenty of honey?
Can I stop after I have already begun?
How soon can I start splitting these hives?
the temp for the rest of the week is in the upper 60" can I cause
problems for them if it turns cold?          Have agreat sping
