“In the case cited in B-L it is likely the queen alighted on the lower branch and the cluster became aware of the fact that the queen had not accompanied them. When this happens the cluster becomes aware that the queen failed to accompany them and scouts begin searching for the queen, some scouts find the queen and begin scenting the cluster becomes restless breaks up and reclustera at the queen's location.”
Hi Peter, I nicely disagree with the above statement in my scenario of the swarm that occurred here. Aaron sent a link to a Bee Culture article dated May 26, 2015, titled Tanging Works Well, With a Little Seed, written by Tom Davidson, on tanging a swarm.
