How do you know it is time to do your artifical swarm?
How do you know it is time to do your artifical swarm?
???????? Why ?. I'd prefer to do it myself when I was ready for it.
He looses the yield.Two reasons.
2nd, Beginners usually want increase and in any case SHOULD have two colonies so they can have a test frame.

Yuo mean Poly that artifcial swarm's purpose is "how to avoid getting yield".I agree Finman but I do think that beginners are better not losing a swarm the first year or two and learn how to work the colony and get to understand what is normal. Getting honey is better left until later. If they get a few kilos they are happy enough I think. Chasing crops is better done in year two or three.
