Hive Splits

Farm Team - 5/27/13

Here's the new "farm team". These hives were split from our existing bees, and queened with some Hawaiian Carniolan fertile queens. We'll see how that goes. Left/West hive came from Swarm hive, Right/East hive from one of the Dave A field hives. Notice the lilac blooming right now just behind the hives. Hope that gives them something to go on out there on the windswept hills. Also note new hive stand.

We have made 3 splits then, one from each of the hives that made it through the winter, all splits queened with one of the Hawaiian Carniolans.
