Balance resources in splits

Evenly distributing resources between hive splits is vital for their successful development. When splitting, beekeepers should ensure that both resulting splits receive a balanced share of bees, brood (eggs, larvae, pupae), honey frames, and pollen frames. Imbalanced resource allocation can lead to one split being strong while the other is too weak to thrive. Careful frame selection and distribution during splitting ensures both splits have sufficient bees to maintain temperature, forage, and rear brood, and enough food stores to sustain initial growth. Balanced resource distribution sets both splits up for success.
