Did my splits after the solstice and left a couple complete but Made 20 splits out of them left one queen right hive ( the one that I will learn to graft from next year) and left 2 hives queen less and did ots notching on them all, and out of 22 I got 20 laying so pretty happy with that, and one of the hives I left complete put on a super and a 7 deeps full of honey, so had to make some room today first time with a late summer pull but was quite a change in color.spring is on the left late summer on the right
