Greetings all,
My local mentor is out of town, on vacation, so I figured what better place to
pose this question but to this panel. I have one hive that is very populous, and I
am concerned that it may swarm. Last Saturday, I requeened the hive, and it
appears that they have accepted her. The upper hive body (deep) is essentially
one frame of brood, and 2 partially drawn frames of foundation. The rest is
undrawn foundation. Prior to introduction, they were trying to supercede, and I found
a couple swarm cells, which I destroyed. Yesterday, I found some partial swarm cells
and replacement cells, but the new queen had only been out a day. I destroyed these.
Will the hive swarm and take my new queen with them? If so, what measure can I
take to lessen the chance?
Thanks,
Scott Moser
