The walk away split-double screen

After doing an additional inspection, the hive that we created from the package is queenless.  So we took out the frame with the single queen cell and put it in a separate brood box and placed it on top of the existing hive with a double screen separating them. The double screen is made to offer an entrance for both the upper and lower hives.This is supposed to make it possible to combine two hives while keeping the queens from killing each other.  But in this case we are using it for a type of walk away split.  #TNbeekeeper
