Opinions please...hive bearding/swarming picture

[GavB]

My bees did this last sunday and again today. They also did it only once last year when i believed they ?swarmed. Found it funny how they would do it twice in one week if it was swarming. Going to inspect them later when i get home from work. Does anyone want to have guess....is this common with other beekeepers?

As its not particularly hot my first thought is how much space have they got to make brood and store nectar ?

Apparently this is normal behaviour if you dont inspect your hives for queen cells etc. on a regular basis lol Beginning to think i should manage my time better and cut back on the netflix..thinking they must of swarmed on the sunday aswell. Lesson learned hopefully!!!!!

Well done for answering your own question. Hope you managed to collect the swarm.
