Bees and Chicks

Today I moved the newly hatched chicks to a brooder.  They seem happy enough.  Johnny and I also are attempting our first beehive split.  We took the frames from an existing hive and gave them a new queen.  I don't think they are too happy.  Will keep them confined all through the weekend and keep checking to see if they accept the queen.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will work.
