I was just re-reading the section of Tim Rowe's book (admittedly, not The Bible of Beekeeping) that deals with swarm-checks.. More than once he refers to checking every nine days. I had thought that in "swarm-season", assuming that you are very thorough each visit in your examination for signs of swarming, the standard gap would be every seven days in order to catch them immediately before a potential queen-cell was capped.
Should I be inspecting more or less frequently?
