Hi there, Im Lukas, an amateur native bee keeper. My question is in regards to splitting hives. How far apart should the split hive be positioned away from the original hive once it has been split. Will there be a problem with bees abandoning the split hive to return back to the original hive if they are too close together? Causing the new split hive to fail..?

Hey, I'm a new beekeeper that's trying to start a business. What products should I buy to start off with? Also, if it helps, I like men and roasting little children,.
