Getting Started in Beekeeping: 10:

Getting Started in Beekeeping: 10: #Swarming Honeybees - The Norfolk Honey Co. #Beekeeping
This series of videos is designed for the new beekeeper or for someone who is thinking of starting beekeeping for the very first time.
In this video I look at the process of swarming honeybee colonies. When Honeybees swarm it can be a really stressful time for the beginner beekeeper. When you just start beekeeping and your first colony swarms it feels like you're not in control of your bees but don't worry it happens to us all! We look at why honeybees swarm, how honeybees swarm, what you can do to spot when the honeybees are going to swarm and ways to prevent honeybees from swarming.
We look at how to carry out an artificial swarm for swarm prevention, what honeybee colony splits are, how to use nuc boxes to help with swarm prevention and how to collect a swarm of honeybees that have already swarmed.
Beekeeping can be a total pleasure but beekeeping can also be a total pain! Get things wrong and beekeeping becomes a frustration and not a joy.
In this basic beekeeping series called Getting Started in Beekeeping I aim to help anyone who is thinking of starting beekeeping or has just started beekeeping to gain more knowledge and understanding about beekeeping and therefore enjoy the beekeeping experience even more.
