I tried 3 times to get the queenless split up and going by providing eggs w/o any success. Yesterday I went to look again and they were anxious and no signs of a queen cell so I added them to the other split I made from Demeter using the newspaper method. I added two sheets of packing paper on top of the split w/ the queen made a few small slashes w/ my hive tool then added both boxes of the queenless hive. I wanted to just add the deep, but there was still so many bees that I put the medium on as well. I then put the inner cover on and an empty super (just to make the top entrance easier) then the outer cover.
