[QUOTE="Mummzie, post: 12904, member: 5"] maybe hold off on splitting until you have a really strong healthy hive. A split in late summer/Early autumn will be able to build up enough for winter and queens are more easily obtained /mated. Perhaps work on rebuilding the one with what sounds like it has virgin queens in it...using a little assistance from your better hive. Tristans post #5 is very accurate. If you are not in the position of having access to an experienced beekeeper, or able to join a club or group nearby, take photos and post them here to get feedback from what is seen. Information about hive setup( ie 1xFD broodbox, QE, Honey super ) a photo of the box from above when its opened-and a photo of the brood frames will be most useful. [/QUOTE]
