Multiple swarms

[lusklabs]

Dare I say it, but I think summer is finally on it's way

Anyway, I thought that I would combine this thread with some pictures and also try and get some advise in relation to a swarm problem I keep on having. I've got a couple of hives and one hive has now swarmed, within the space of 10 days, no less than five times and the other has swarmed twice but I've never experienced anything like this before so any help would be gratefully received.

In the meantime, a few pictures:

**Apologies, could admin kindly move this into the correct forum**

When you get a swarm, go through the mother hive and remove all queen cells open and closed except for one that you can see royal jelly in, for everyone you miss you will get a cast swarm. I guess that's what s happening here!!!

Urgent Help needed with swarm in Epsom

Just got a call from Julia in Epsom Surrey. Her Mum has a swarm 1m off the ground in a bush in her Mum's garden. She would like help. I am at work (sniff).

Edit: She just rang. They have found a new home on their own.
