What we need is drawn comb. Drawn comb is the key to all sorts of positive things in Beekeeping. The stuff is like gold dust.

I use these except I made a FD box into 4 x 2 frame nucs, with 4 entrances on the box. Works a treat,

Good idea to multiply bees. I prefer walk away splits taking the old queen and then I split again the ones that have a capped queen cells. I don’t like having extra inventory to deal with it. I have 5,7 and 10 frames boxes and they serve me well. But the amount of work remains. Success.

question, I have access to a great location for an out yard, but it is only 1 mile from the home yard. If the splits were made to not be too dependant on forager bees would a 1 mile separation be enough distance to make queenless splits and not be so suspitable to be robbed out. I have tried to splits in my home yard and it was a disaster, robbing was brutal. I like your videos lots of data and no fluff, you are doing great.

1 mile will surely reduce your robbing considerably, but more importantly, when there is no nectar flow, have very small entrances and good a population in the split to defend it. Thank you for watching

Can you do this with full sized boxes and just have frames of foundation and still do it? I don’t have any 2 frame boxes but I have some 5 frame boxes and a lot of 10 frame boxes.

You could but a small colony of bees does much better in a smaller cavity. If your going to use a 10F box it works much better to use a double screen board over a stronger colony

On the walk away split, after the 4 day wait and leaving the 1 queen cell, do you go back in to check for more later on or should that be it?

Not any different than any other hive. They have no trouble regulating the heat. They will move out and beard pretty heavy sometimes but I've used them successfully all Summer

Not after the cold weather is gone, unless you use a solid frame of open larvae. A solid frame of open larvae takes a good amount of bees to cover the brood during the night. Better to use a frame of capped and open larvae
