Hi
I have 2 hives and both of them swarmed today, at the same time.
They were both swarms themselves last year for my first colony each.
However I am concerned about the hive location.
It is at the top of my garden, they both face South.
They are in the top right hand side of my garden with fence on two rights (top and left).
Is it likely it was just time to swarm (a bit early) or they got too warm today?
So apart from a swarming opinion, are they in the wrong location - ie too sunny.
Thanks
Nick
