I did find what looks to be a superseder cell today, I moved it and two more frames to the top super after I shook off the bees. put a queen excluder between the two boxes. Tomorrow I am going to move the 3 frames to another box with the bees that move up to tend the frames..
Just finished the split, in a two frame box.. all the frames were covered with bees. going to leave them closed for a little while. worried about them getting to warm, moved them about a quarter mile away..

If you use a piece of screen to block the entrance they should be fine also when you let them out put a tree branch with leaves on it or grass in front of the entrance so they have to fly through it so they will re-orient to the new box and location feed them also good luck keep us posted
