How to Prevent Swarming of Bees | Learn Step by Step with Bruce White

Learn how to Prevent Swarming of Bees. Swarming is the natural process of bees increasing in numbers. The aim of this video is to show you how to manage your colonies to control and prevent swarming. Swarming is not desirable as you risk losing up to half the colony bees, and with possible nuisance bee implications. Always be observant and only interchange disease free material and healthy bees between colonies. Thank you to Bruce White OAM for sharing his vast knowledge.
