What a absolute nightmare, the Prince Philip has swarmed when we least expected it. We have all early preparations covered and this included making sure that the brood boxes are not too congested by replacing pollen frames with empty foundation frames to ensure enough space was given, however this particular Queen got ahead of us and was prolific with her laying and producing brood. We were considering a split today, but she beat us to it, however we captured the swarm again and hopefully the Queen is in the box? So we have been forced to move large hives to the outlying apiaries away from unhappy neighbours....we have no choice or the authorities might get involved. So the writing is on the wall.
