swarming time again

I hope everyone has given your hives plenty of room to grow.

Every few years we have what some call "A SWARMING SPRING" I think this will be known as one of those years. The other day I went into some hives that I just taken some brood out of for splits 6 days prior. Well evidently I didn't take enough brood out because they were full and had 7 to 10 queen cells in them. If you haven't checked your hives lately, Check them.

Below is a guaranteed way to keep your hives from swarming.












Yep, There ain't one.

I have been in hives that had all kinds of space and there were still cells.

All you can do is the best you know how. They have a mind of there own.

Good Luck, Tom
