The term swarming is used in the study of the biology of Apis bees to define the mass departure of bees, resulting from the division of the colony. In this case, a queen is raised and only part of the swarm leaves the nest and is called reproductive swarming. However, in some cases, reproductive swarming can be followed by abandonment.
There are other types of swarming and today we will talk about all of them. But first, see the 16 mistakes that make bees abandon the hive and swarm, that is, they will certainly leave.
