I began keeping bees last spring in Warwick NY.   Currently it looks  
as if my bees  are surviving the winter, as mild as it's been so  
far.   I've read several pros and cons in regards to reversing the  
hive bodies in the spring to reduce swarming.  Would anybody like to  
share their two cents regarding the reversal of hive bodies, and  
swarm prevention in general?

Thanks,

Nick
