I have a large lavender bush which gets cut back after flowering each year. This year it has gone wild and is taking over much of the front garden top tier. Is it possible to divide the bush. I dont want to lose it and the bees absolutely love it. Any suggestions welcome

I think it's generally considered that you can't divide lavender plants. I would be more inclined to take cuttings as insurance.

I'm assuming that it's an English lavender as opposed to French (the "bunny ears" type).
Do you know which variety it is ?
I had a feeling they couldn't be divided. The lavender is about 12 years old and I think its the munstead variety (its an English lavender the French ones don't seem to do so well in our garden).I will take some cuttings and hopefully they will take to replace the big over grown bush
