Looking for a "mean hive/ queen" or "mean hive" rescue If you have a mean hive that you are going to requeen, would you consider splitting it and giving it to me with the original queen. I would supply the box either top bar or langstroth and can help you with the split. Thank you, Zee 505 316 1673 zeebaban(a)gmail.com
