Easy, effective, and economical…what’s not to like when talking about swarm control methods?! For a couple of years now we have used the Demaree method (I agree, it should be Demareee!) to manage the swarming behaviour of our bees with the added benefit of increasing the honey production of the colony in question. The
knock-on advantage too is that colonies that have been managed in this way seem to survive the winter months more successfully.
