My blue hive was split June 13th. I had found some hatched swarm queen cells so I found the old queen and took her and half the hive and placed it beside the blue hive. I placed a queen cell which was ready to emerge in the blue hive in case there was any issues with the swarm queens.
To say the least, the timing was impeccable. Both hives have been doing very well.
This is the time of the year which the hive is experiencing its' peak population; which in turn means that honey collection is at its peak as well. Look how many bees are in the top box!

| Lots of bees! |

| How am I going to lift this honey off? |
I am interested in seeing how much honey I will have this year.
