THE WALK AWAY SPLIT

This article from Mother Earth News describes the pros and cons of doing "walk away" splits.  It can be a valuable tool for a beekeeper wanting to start a new hive.  Thanks to beekeeper Denise for finding this article.   PS-the time window to do a walk away split is rapidly drawing to a close, because the new hive will not have enough time to raise a new queen and gather honey to survive the winter.
