More Care Needed By After Swarms When Hived

Categories: SWARMING.
Bee Keeping: Mysteries Of Bee-keeping Explained

Should it be thought best to hive after swarms, and risk the chances,

they should receive a little extra attention after the first week or

two, to destroy the worms; a little timely care may prevent

considerable injury. They are apt to construct more combs in proportion

to the number of bees, than others; consequently, such combs cannot be

properly covered and protected. The moth has an opportunity to deposit

her eggs on them, and, sometimes, entirely destroy them.
