Starting my Fall splits myself, I'm going light just recovering some of last Winters losses. I'll use excess brood to boost them before Fall/Winter. Thanks for sharing your time with us, Blessed Days...

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

You are welcome and thank you

[@davidmaloney2724]

Gona have to get a light. Sometimes you can’t see anything when there’s no sun or as you said dark combs. Nice video bud

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

Thank you

How do you deal with the heat when doing splits during the late summer? I have temps over 100 degrees from July to Sept and at times spitting during the heat just doesn’t work. I really like your content!

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

It can be difficult to get them queenright at times. Keeping them fed with light sugar water increases your success tremendously. Strong splits also allows the hive to better regulate temperatures

[@AdmiringApron-eb2nu]

At what point in spring do you pull the split off or is it just by how well they have grown

[@ChiltonBeeCompany]

I pull them off when the hives below are ready to split in Mid March. The splits are also pretty full by that point

What mic do you use for recording? And do you just use your phone?

Right now I'm using the DJI pocket 3 and the DJI mic
