Winter is almost behind us, so we’re now looking forward to
the challenges of the new beekeeping season. In no time at all the bees will be
flying and, if all goes well, swarming. Despite careful checks and the utmost
vigilance, everyone who has ever kept bees will have, at some point, missed a
swarm. The noise bees make when swarming is incredible and unmistakeable, a
large thrumming dark cloud, growing bigger and bigger as more bees leave the
hive.
