I split one colony, yet every time one of the swarm cells hatched the new queens swarmed. After splitting, that colony swarmed 3 times!

Spelled “supersedure.” Supersedure cells are usually in the middle of a frame, and signal workers’ desire to replace a failing queen. Swarm cells are generally found along the bottom of a frame.

When you move frames of brood, you need to keep them together so the bees can keep the brood warm. Put brood frames in the middle, and frames of pollen and honey to the outside of that.

Also, at two weeks after starting, you would hope to see a queen cell, but it takes 16 days for a queen to hatch. It takes about four weeks to see eggs in a split done this way.

Question – where did you place the new split hive? Can it be near the original hive or will they just go back to the original hive? Does it have to be far away? Thanks.

how far apart do you place the new hive you are trying to start from the original hive?

In reply to David. Good luck David. Sounds like you are on the bad side, but hopefully you can get the colony to survive through winter by feeding them (a lot). My dilemma is to split them now or to take a chance that the hive will get destroyed by bears. This hive is not protected, but I could split it and put the split hive inside an electric fence. Decisions, decisions.

This is awesome information; what time of year did you do this? My wife and I are new to bees and this is our first year.

In reply to Sidney Patin. I didn't block my entrance and it looked like the bees from either the original hive or robber bees came in and pulled all the brood out of the frames and left them on the floor of the hive....

I did the exact same thing but without any success. Then my original queens must have died and I had to order a new one for the original hive which was getting very low on bees…
I reduced the hive entrance to the small size and took out all but four frames which was all the bees could cover sufficiently… many hive beetles and a couple of moths started to take over so that is why I reduced the number of frames…
The new queen was putting her tail into holes either checking for fit or laying…hopefully laying…I will check in a week for new brood and once they hatch add another frame…we have time to build up before winter comes if I feed them continually…

Hope for success!!
