While at the farm today I decided to split the East Hive. It has been doing well and is a lot stronger than the West Hive. As I dug into the hive I found lots of bees and lots of brood. I found three frames with 1-day old larva and decided to try for a 3-way split. I never found the queen among all the bees, so I made sure each hive had a frame with 1-day old larva for raising queens as needed.
