Bearding or Swarming…

Hi Vincent, you are in spring, so your bees are preparing to swarm, it’s how they reproduce. You can prevent them from swarming by taking urgent steps (if it’s not too late) to trick them into thinking they have already swarmed. It requires extra brood boxes & following instructions. I went into great detain recently in another thread. I’ll try to find it.

I tried to help @Mike-s out.

Last week I talked myself silly trying to help someone else out. So I’m taking a sabbatical.
