6 years later... FINALLY! A clear and straightforward "crash-course" on splits. Thank you.<br>I'm also amazed that you're both wearing noting but shorts and short-sleeved shirts when working with your bees!

It would be very helpful, educational and informative on doing splits with out introducing a queen like you did on these 3 split methods in this video. And show some methods where bees make their own Queen in splits. Especially for Beekeepers who don't have access to extra Queens or not able to buy/order Queens from from Queen rearing Beekeepers.

I found this very interesting, clear and instructional. I love the fact you demonstrated the options. As a new bee keeper this was very helpful for me. Thanks, from the UK. 👍

I think this is the best how to split a hive video. I started learning about beekeeping when wild honeybees made a hive in our garden. Thank you.

How does he do this in shorts and a t-shirt?? Our bees would tear us apart without a bee suit no matter how gentle we move frames/boxes..
