Hi there! Would anyone with experience be willing to help me split my hive this week/weekend? I checked it for the first time since winter hit this past Saturday and it's packed! I'm thrilled that they've done so well over the winter and am now thinking that they'd like more space (I also want to prevent swarming if possible and keep the good, productive queen in the existing hive). I'd like to do this sometime this week or next weekend if possible. If you're up for it feel free to call me (Kelsie) at 303-681-7876.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Help Splitting a Hive
We have 10 acres just outside Longmont city limits by 75th. We would like to let some people put beehives on our property in exchange for a little honey. We are surrounded by hay pastures and are in the process of reseeding our large pasture. Let me know if you are interested! I know that bees do well here as my next door neighbor had a hive and we had a thriving population in our house wall! We also have several crabapple and apple trees. Lori (cell: 303-588-2442)

Re: Help Splitting a Hive
I am actually looking for a swarm or a split hive to start my first hive. Are you still needing help? Were you planning on keeping the other half or trying to find a home for them?
