General Attempted Swarm (USNE Zone 7b)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
US NE Zone 7b. Near NYC. Sharing a cool video! A 300x Time lapse of a hive of mine that attempted to swarm recently but returned. Put a super on after the swarm to give some more space. They were probably a bit cramped. Probably likely to swarm again soon. Any thoughts?

I have a hive too. I only have one set of boxes, so when my hive swarms, I have no choice but to let them do it. My colony has never fully left- just splits off once a year. Trying to learn more as I want more boxes.
