What has  been your experience with afterswarms?  Does inclement weather 
limit  afterswarming?



If bees aren't flying they aren't dying, but more are emerging at maybe  
1,000 a day.  It won't take many days of this for the hive to feel itself  
sufficiently over-populated to throw another swarm if they have the spare queen 
 to do so.
