[QUOTE="Bron, post: 8709, member: 59"] Yep, it’s been a funny old season. Went to a yard Wednesday which I thought we’d got a good handle on, dealt to the strength & a couple of girls who were looking like leaving home by giving them a new residence. We reckon we lost a couple to swarming. One had four frames taken to a mega split. Should have just chopped out all but all the cells and given the old girl a wee squeeze. Dale picked up a virgin swarm for one of her mates (it was a public nuisance in town) that arvo. Clean catch in an empty box, base and lid. We put it into an existing hive our swarm yard. Weve actively set out to make no more hives this year. It makes for an interesting swarm control. Making more bees is dead easy. Making none is hard, and kinda weird! [/QUOTE]
