A common method to try to control swarming here in Australia is to put
foundation in the brood chamber and lift the brood combs being replaced into
the supers above the excluder. May not work for those who do not use
excluders. Does not work in some circumstances where the bees want to go to
the trees no matter what. This can be on canola for one.
