    question, I have access to a great location for an out yard, but it is only 1 mile from the home yard. If the splits were made to not be too dependant on forager bees would a 1 mile separation be enough distance to make queenless splits and not be so suspitable to be robbed out. I have tried to splits in my home yard and it was a disaster, robbing was brutal. I like your videos lots of data and no fluff, you are doing great.

    • @ChiltonBeeCompany

    I just wanted to add my thanks for this video as well. I've been grafting and raising my own queens for the first time this year and decided I wanted to try a couple of Randy Oliver's queens as well. I installed the new queens this week and today I was wondering how I'm going to keep track of those two queens as I move them from the nucs they're in, to deeps in a different yard, and likely will move them again before winter. Then I remembered this video. I rewatched it and just added some id badges and a garden pen to my Amazon list. You have great ideas! Thanks again for sharing them!

I was thinking I might only get one super in total with each one full of bees brood etc. I have drawn suppers as I got the bees from an older beekeeper and they were all living in the supers. So this year I moved them over into deeps and going to put the supers plus brood and some honey on top of the deeps now that they have most of the deeps drawn out. Basically I will have them all more or less equalised out to one deep box covered in bees brood honey. In your experience a hive like that could it fill two supers in a good flow or is it asking to much of the bees. Will add two as you said to allow for room for the nectar before it is concentrated.

    Another good video. Your bee yards look really nice. Looks like you are gonna have a lot of supers to pull. Up here in Illinois our flow is still going on. White clover is everywhere and sumac is blooming although I don't see bees on it. Heck I don't see them on the clover much but you can bet they are. Every couple of days I take an empty honey bucket with a little honey left in the bottom and set it out in the morning and leave it until evening. So far the bees could careless if its there. When the flow stops they will swarm it. Do you know if bees make honey from the elderberry blooms. We have them blooming everywhere you look and they smell really sweet.

      That is the way I do it because I overwinter in single deeps. I put the second deep on in early Spring for room to grow. Now it is time to remove it so I just move her down in time for the brood to emerge out of it before I pull honey supers. It is then treated as another super.
