Hi, Wajih. The easiest way to control swarming while having the
least disruption otherwise is to install a queen excluder under the
bottom box (above the bottom board). Swarms then will self-retrieve
in less than two hours. You have to check for queen cells every 10
days while the QE is in place. I presume the "swarm fever" which
continues will detract from their concentration on new nectar but all
the bees will stay in the hive. Dan
