This is the second part of “Dealing with a Mean Hive of Bees.” I decided to try this technique that I have learned of. It is one way of creating an artificial swarm. I modified it from the way it is supposed to be done but it seemed to work fine. Do the bees become more calm during this process? Watch and see.
I am intrigued by the idea of the Taranov Split. Notice that I have entitled this a “Modified” Taranov Split. I did this because I did things a little bit differently but I think the principles utilized are the same.
I do plan on doing a more proper Taranov Split in the future but until then here is a good video showing the process. I had seen this before but someone put the link below in the comments. Thought I would share:
