[QUOTE="John B, post: 7523, member: 207"] In the more than 50 years I have been beekeeping scientific research has changed a lot of what with thought we knew about bees and lead to some fascinating discoveries but if you exclude varoa there have not been any major changes to bee husbandry in this time period. Every hive in New Zealand is different. Every apiary is different and every area is different. Every beekeeper has different ideas and different ways of doing things but if they have a good understanding of basic bee husbandry they will have healthy happy hives most of the time and good bee husbandry includes swarm control. New ideas and new ways of doing things are important and I have tried my fair share of these over the years but I have always drifted back to what I was taught by grandfather for no other reason than what he did worked and still does.
