Hive Split

One of the WildCA18 swarm colonies was showing some significant overcrowding problems. I opened the hive and was greeted with a box packed full of bees and most of the foragers were out already. So this box is full and we need to do something now. I removed 3 frames and added those to a new 5 Nuc box. I took this queen less colony back to my house and introduced a queen. The queen was caged and will be released in 24 hours.
