I have to agree with P-O. I manage my bees the same way, with similar 
results. I'm on lat 45 N. I don't make splits in the spring, either. 
I find that selecting breeders who have never shown the inclination 
to swarm, timely reversing on the Dandelion flow, and adequate 
supering, takes care of most swarming.
