There was a code of honor? To regulate feuds among beekeepers? I must know more!
Like it’s ok to put wacky baccy in a guy’s smoker or put itching powder inside their protective overalls (assuming they’re not manly enough to do without) but YOU DON’T MESS WITH ANOTHER MAN’S BEES?
Plus do only men keep bees in California?

Only 10 years for $1M worth of theft? You can get 10 years for carrying 4oz of weed on you in some states. What the hell.

Good. We need all the bees we can get these days.
I hope all the bees now find a good home.

Take a hive with, say, four boxes. Likely about the bottom two will mostly be brood, the top two honey.
You could split that hive into four single-box hives, rearranging the frames to give each one all the things it needs to survive.
Each one needs a good number of workers, some reserves of honey, and some brood including eggs. In all but one of those new hives, the workers will pick some eggs or very new larvae from the brood comb you give them to raise a new queen.
