Ban on bee swarming
A friend of mine once said:
One day in June, when the day was already slipping towards evening, I began to inspect the family and found mature queen cells. It is clear that the swarm is about to come out, and as luck would have it, I was in a hurry: it was necessary to leave urgently. Back to return could only a week. But I did not want to leave my family in a swarm. In short, it was necessary to take some emergency measures. I see that a lot of sawdust is lying near the hives. He took a bucket of sawdust, took off the canvas from the store and poured them on top directly onto the frames. Covered the nest with a canvas, put a roof on the hive and left. Before leaving, he looked around: I see that the bees from the hive began to fly out actively, not lightly, but with the load – with sawdust: they brought the nest in order. A week later I come to the point, immediately to this hive, and what would you think? The family from the swarm state left, the honey shop brought.
