Brood Break

Splits are an excellent way to create a brood break, which is also a great time to apply chemical treatments.

You can also induce a brood break for the majority of your hive using a queen confinement cage, such as these:

• Betterbee
  • Small, round push in cage
  • Wire mesh queen intro cage
  • Deep frame isolation cage
  • Medium frame isolation cage
• Meyer Bees – Queen Confinement Cage

• Requeening with VHS stock can be helpful.
