Bob, I searched the archives and found out that you have done many
experiments on two-queen hives (TQH). I've never paid much attention to
that technique, until recently, when I read in Free's book (Pheromones...)
that swarming is less likely to happen in TQHs.
As you know, swarming is of great concern for us - AHBkeepers, and I've
been pondering about give TQH a try. I could find several papers on that,
but no clear statements about swarming. Of course, our conditions are very
different, but have you ever noted a reduced swarming tendency in TQHs?
