During my inspections yesterday I did not see any drone brood. I did see some eggs in drone cells so I will expect to see some drone brood in a couple of weeks but at the moment I believe it is too soon. If your hive is going gangbusters and needs room to grow, give them room to grow. This will give you more to chose from for your split. I believe a lighter syrup might be better at this time.

Hi All,
With the cold weather subsiding, I'm wondering if I can go ahead and split my hive back into two. Is anyone seeing drone cells or drones? Have been feeding heavy syrup for last month, and hive seems busy.
Thanks,
