Why Did This Hive Swarm? Let's Dig In & Find Out Why

[@junkinjodi]

No need for excuses I don't know how you keep up with what you do. Thank you for always sharing

When I catch a swarm I like to put an already drawn out comb frame they really do love it

Just picked up two of your queens from the Postal Hub on Friday. A few anxious moments, as instead of going to Atlanta, they went up to TN and parked for 36 hours. I went down to the Post Office with my tracking number and immediately my queens hopped on a plane to Lubbock. That red queen from last year who survived the attempted usurpation of Africanized bees while all of my Bee Weavers succumbed; you told me to feed her in hopes of kicking off laying. Well, it worked and her hive now has a deep super on top. Thanks.

They swarmed because the ratio of foragers/hive workers was off. When you feed and you give lots of capped brood, as soon as the brood hatches, they leave. Use medium frames checkerboard with deeps and give them ventilation under brood area.

Keep us updated if you find out why this happen

Are the boxes close enough for them to be piping? Or are the bees bringing back pollen or nectar the queen don’t like? And you’re wearing a veil??? You never do…. Tired of getting hit?

What is the temperature at the hive?

[@pjalcasarin]

Hi do you ship overseas?

[@JustBees]

Foragers aren’t loyal to a queen. They are loyal to a spot. When you swap brood nest spots, there’s no fighting. TIP… it’s BEST if the entrances are facing different directions to reduce drift. It might work, but they might be close enough to cause drift. If you swap 2 hives that are next to each other, you will run into problems. I use “spot swap” to immediately resolve any issues. It’s a different thought process. Manage you FORAGERS, instead of managing your hive workers.
