Just split a hive last week for the first time. Was thinking I should just wait about 4 weeks then check for eggs. Then intervene if neededI'm curious about this. I'd have a hard time resisting the urge to check its progress every 7 to 10 days.
Do y'all check for queen cells after a split of do you prefer waiting and checking for eggs?Usually I let the bees just do their thing and check back when there should be a queen laying.
All right! Here goes nutthin'.
No shotgun blast from the mods, so ..Everything is within the rules at this point, but don't let this spiral out of control and get out of hand or too off-color. Sal, you've had uncounted warnings and a suspension or two for going overboard on stuff like this, and that last post of yours is toeing the line in my opinion. And animal, you do nothing but brag about your dirty mind. So please stay within acceptable limits. Have fun, but keep it clean, everybody!
