It seems that bees have two
main instincts-to make honey
and to swarm. If you can keep
the honey-making instinct up
Ipermost during the early season,
then you are bound to get more
honey and have less trouble with
swarms. To do that, you have to
keep the queen cells, formed by
the bees in odd places in the hive,
from Matching. Because every
time there is a queen Matched, it
means swarm of bees. The hive
divides between the old and new

with the old ruler follow her out
