My experience has been mixed. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Perhaps
its in the timing (catching it earlier may help), or maybe I just missed
swarm cell.
Last year, after finding several swarm cells in a particularly large hive,
I made 3 splits. I though I got all the cells, yet the colony swarmed the
next day, and then again the following week. Though making an artificial
swarm/split has worked at other times for me.
