Pine Hive (Buckfast) queen was installed as a package on May 3. One month after install, I made a successful walk away split with a frame of her eggs. 6 weeks after install, I moved the queen to a nuc and left the main hive to re-queen themselves. 10 days later, I split the main hive again! And all that was triggered after I spotted the VERY early warning signs of a potential swarm. The Pine hive was the fastest building colony and I'm very excited to propagate this awesome queen.
