A quick and easy way to take a split from a honey bee colony which does not require wasted time hunting for the queen. This method is a three part process.
1-provide space to promote growth
2-sort out the hive by counting brood frames and shake all the bees below an excluder (no attempt to find the queen),
3-remove the split or take the brood from above the excluder that evening or over the next few days
This method allows the split to work in a timely manner and simple enough to train employees to work along side
