Queen Excluders and Hope - Dealing with swarm cells in a large colony - 9/6/24

Hello everyone, I've decided to try to do two videos every Thursday now. One will be of long form inspections, so those of you who are interested can see how my bees are doing on a weekly basis. The other will be if anything interesting happens like in this one. One of my biggest colonies seems to have reached critical mass and has decided to make queen cells. The swarm response is triggered by a few things, but the main reason is that they've run out of space for brood or food. I try to combat this response, especially in spring, by not using a queen excluder and keeping well ahead of the colony with extra boxes of comb. Sometimes, a colony will decide its time to swarm if the nectar flow stops and the foragers who are normally out collecting nectar and pollen get a bit bored milling about the hive. Or if they reach a "critical mass" where they reach a large size and decide there's enough bees that they think the colony won't miss half of them flying off over the horizon with the queen. Either way, the fix for this problem comes down to needing to find the queen in several boxes, so this video is of how I deal with this situation. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, then please think about subscribing to my page.
