Hi All,
I am relatively new to beekeeping and have a couple of basic questions
for the group.
The first question is how do you tell if a colony has swarmed, if you
are not near the hives to check them frequently, or perhaps see them
swarm?
I assume that if you mark your queens, and upon subsequent
investigation, an unmarked queen is found in the hive, and the
population of bees is smaller than it was, that this is indication
enough.
Does anybody have other observations than this?
Thank you.
Brian Carroll
