Is there are bee type that has a lower swarming tendencies, and if so, can you requeen with this type of queen, regardless of the type of bees you have.
I don't know what type of bees mine are. I got them off a commercial beekeeper in May 2013 as a nuc. Within weeks they has created queen cells and I ended up with a new queen.
I still have that queen now, but the hive is still adamant on swarming even after carrying out an AS.
Just wondering now if it maybe a swarmy type. And time to consider a brought in queen?
