Hi Gordon,
 
      Looking at your hive every six days is creating the situation for your
bees to swarm, at the start of spring your whole hive should be inspected
for swarming cells and the state of your hive, then if you keep placing more
supers on this hive, you are allowing the bees to store nectar and return to
you.
 
        This is the most simple way to stop swarming in any hive, as looking
at your hive to much, will create stress, which will cause disease or
swarming, etc.
 
        For more information see our Web Pages, re: Swarm Control. The URL
