out of the way?"

The short answer is, remove the queen excluders.

The long answer to practicing swarm prevention is to keep ahead of your
bees by giving them plenty of room, use only young queens, make splits if
wanted, and utilize the ability of a prolific layer to produce the maximum
amount of honey that the hive is capable of producing. A beekeeper is just
that, one who keeps his bees.
