It’s my first year doing demarees for swarm control this year as I didn’t want to increase my colony numbers and it’s been succcessful so far as none have swarmed.
I’ve been doing a demaree on 14x12 on 5 hives every 3 weeks since spring and I’m wondering when do I stop ? Just finishing another 3 week stint this week so wondering whether to swap top and bottom brood boxes again or not.
Spent a while searching for the answer and can’t seem to find it. What’s best practice ?
