Cheers guys I appreciate it.
I'll go the way Nigel recommends - moving queen into new box and splitting that way. Hopefully then they'll settle their swarm/supersedure fever.
The mentor said they're good bees and she's a good queen so hopefully her new colony will keep her.
Either way, I'd like more than one strong colony.
