We keep on hearing how the the honey bee population is in decline yet still we try every method available to prevent them from reproducing because honey production is what it's all about for the beekeeper. I think that's a shame.

Great Thread, ( except the diversion re declining honeybee part )
So many S. Controll methods.... So little time ��
Need to decide , and quickly my own approach, had planned Pagden, but after reading more, think will switch to Demaree.
I had a day off work last week and by chance it was red hot in my garden.
This is all very interesting and I am now wondering whether anyone has actually started any swam control yet this year, either pre-emptive or reactive.

Don't know about other places, but the numbers are not declining here, quite the opposite.

I think that not practicing swarm control is just laziness combined with anti-social behaviour.
It's irresponsible
If you say so Finman - maybe you would like to explain all the steps in each to the OP so that she can see how identical they are?
