David, I don't have a firm answer for you but I have some musings.
So... IF the split is very well provisioned, I wouldn't worry one bit about not seeing much foraging activity this soon after making the split. My guess is that it will rapidly pick up the rest of this week. This is all just philosophizing. Maybe a raccoon got in and ate
them all... but I'm guessing you would have mentioned that! :-) Randall On 4/26/2017 11:05 AM,

I moved one spit hive with the original queen--plus eggs through capped brood, nectar and pollen--about 6 feet from their original position. I also shook in a frames worth of nurse bees. I added a new queen to the split colony in the original location (where all the foragers are still returning to). Thus far there are no foragers flying in and out of the hive which I moved. Should I be seeing some forager activity by now—one week after the split? Thanks in advance for any feedback. ---------------------- David DiGiuseppe 919-968-9600 _________________________________________ ocba mailing list | North Carolina Beekeeping| http://www.theocba.org/ Manage Your Subscription: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/ocba/ |
