Since it’s too early to split in my area, this hive got another deep for room. Both deeps were full of bees, and the 9 frame brood pattern had expanded to both deeps. It’s crucial to give them room or else you’ll loose half of them to swarming, and run the risk of not having enough drones to mate with your virgin queen that is left to lead the hive. I do not keep local genetics, and my queen breeder is still 4-5 weeks out, so giving them room was the only option for now.
