That’s an amazing setup!

I’m entering year two of my beekeeping journey. One overwintered hive (white) did amazingly well and is thriving, another one (blue) died but I installed a new bee package and two weeks later they’re doing really great and the queen is laying really well.
These bees are on 35 acres of restored prairie.

I intend to split the huge white hive tomorrow. I picked up a new screened bottom board, we already have extra outer & inner cover. I am banking on them making a new queen. Local advice says that is not an insane decision. Any tips? If they are queenless in a couple weeks I will install a new queen. I know some local folks with queen castles and could purchase one.
