A couple of years ago I had a large number of swarms, I also noticed
these groups of bees on the landing board that I would also describe
as "washboarding". After the large number of swarms ( which I feel were
mostly due to my allowing a bit of overcrowding to occur), I wondered if
this
behavior was any indication of swarms to come?
 
Anyone ever notice any correlation here?
