I have entered new territory. A friend of mine needed bees, but could not afford them. My cousin had a hive that was about to swarm, and needed to split them. My friends hive is 8 frame mediums, and my cousin's 10 frame deeps.
So, we took two queen cells, gently pushed them into the foundation and top bar, and shook 4 frames worth of bees into the box and closed up with a moving screen.
Then we split the rest into 2 ten frame boxes with equal brood, stores, and queen cells in each.
I am not too worried about my cousin's bees, plenty of stores, brood, etc. My plan for the Shook Swarm is to feed them to get them drawing the foundation out, keep them warm, out of the sun, etc. Basically like a package, except they get a head start drawing out the combs. How long should I keep them locked up, if at all? The larvae in the queen cells was still white, so I will look up how long it will be before she emerges. Then I would expect to see eggs about a week after she hatches.
