With the fantastic early conditions that we are experiencing, at least in my part of Buckinghamshire, resulting in so many early swarms i was wondering what the view is regarding 2nd swarms. To be clear i am not talking about casts here. I have never had a swarm building up to such a point it swarms again in the same year nor have i had a swarmed colony building up to a point it tries to swarm again. I was always told that queens reared in the current year will not swarm no matter what - is this correct? cheers
