Hello all. I have a hive that swarmed in May earlier this year and again to my disappointment it swarmed again today. I was not checking it for queen cells as I was of the opinion that if it swarmed earlier in May it was done with swarming. This is the first time I have seen a hive do this. Is this common?
Is there any particular reason why they do this or is it just the swarming instinct gone nuts?
