Hello All

I recently came across the following comment by a beekeeping association.

>Nowadays queens in their first year will swarm without hesitation.

I am wondering if this is true as I have read in more than one bee book that
one of the finest ways to cut down on swarming is to requeen every two years.

Sincerely
