Splitting Honey Bee Colonies 101

from Bee Love Beekeeping... presented by Mann Lake

In this episode of Bee Love Beekeeping, we take a deep dive into everything involved in splitting honey bee colonies. Why split, when to split, and how to split. We are joined by Frank Licata, a sideline beekeeper with decades of experience. He discusses different times to make splits and various methods, including his favorite, the simple shake-down split. In this episode we also discuss making NUCS, honey bee fun facts, and learn whether or not we might be beekeepers by the 'Not Jeff Foxworthy.' And we top it all off with Frank's wild & crazy beekeeping story! It's all about having fun while we learn about beekeeping and sharing the love of honey bees! ______________ Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Mann Lake! https://www.mannlakeltd.com/ https://www.beelovebeekeeping.com/ https://vita-europe.com/ [email protected]
