Swarming

* A laid queen cell cup is always an indication of swarming behavior.
* If wax foundations have not been built, swarming has begun and vice versa.
* If swarming behavior has clearly begun , split the swarming hives so that the new hive will be formed with the queen from the old hive.* Only two swarm cells should be left to develop , while others any additional swarm cells should be removed.
* The old hive will grow the new queen from a swarm queen cell.
* The new queen from the queen swarm cell can be replaced with a bred queen either later in summer or during winter feeding in fall.
