It's finally April-Time for Spring Splits!

As a beekeeper, you think about making hive splits the entire year of when you are going to split your hives to increase the size of your bee yard(apiary). The first year it's 2, then 4, then maybe 8. You really just do not know from year to year how many colonies you will loose and how many will survive. Plus, the success of splitting one hive to make 2 or more or even if you are lucky enough to catch a wayward swarm.
