Taranov Swarm
Procedure-Controlled Swarming. All bees from the would-be
swarm
shaken onto a sheet in front of the hive.
(A. Forar) |
The sheet is spread over a
propped up board with the high end 100mm
from the hive entrance.
(A. Forar)
|
The swarming bees crawl under
the board and form a cluster
while the
non-swarming bees fly back into the hive.
(A.Forar) |
Later in the day, the
swarming bees had separated from the
parent colony
and were successfully rehived.
