[QUOTE="tristan, post: 7326, member: 30"] when i first started it was very minimalistic beekeeping. however one issue was hives that would end up very weak and even dead due to swarming. some would swarm so often they end up with so little bees they would fail. then you have to catch the swarms, land owners don't like to see the hive fly away. swarms land in places where they become a problem that has to be dealt with. there is time taken up catching and dealing with them. its almost as much work as swarm control and you loose out production wise and hive numbers.
