I know for many beekeepers around the country, the thought of splitting your hives at this time of the year is only a distant thought. However, here in Southeast Louisiana, I have actually been doing splits since the beginning of March.

In this video I discuss a method that a beginning beekeeper can use, will have very little difficulty implementing, and have great success once it is completed. The method, using a double screened dividing board to make a split. This method is the very one I learned and started using in our bee yards over 10 years ago. The simplicity of it almost makes it fool proof, and I highly recommend it to any new beekeeper.
Also, if you don't know what a double screened dividing board is or how to build one, I made a video on that you can check out and build them yourself, the link is below. Thanks for watching. God's peace.          Mr. Ed
