		Near my bee screen, I noted that some bees were swarming on the mud, but were uninterested in the honey I drizzled on the ground near them.
		We noticed that the bees were falling into the vials of honey and drowning, so we put the honey into small, upside down lids on the vials, providing a shallow, easily accessed source of food.
		If there are honey bees present, we just spray the bee screen with honey and water, limiting the resource to stop them from recruiting.

	"Robbing the Bee Tree" Sensei M.J. Nutter
		Robbing a bee tree was usually undertaken in the late evening, when cooling off would force the bees back to the hive, or the early morning hours, before the sun had warmed them up enough to fly off in search of flower nectar; and they were still swarming in the hive.
		Bees are very adaptable, and will settle in the next tree with a large enough space in it for the brood to be accommodated and new comb built.
		This cloud of course, was the bees swarming around the hive, and preparing to go out in search of nectar to transform into their liquid gold, as the morning sun had not yet risen high enough for the bees to leave the hive.

	George
		As I have said previously, you MUST have a strong population of forager bees at the nectar flow time in order to get a god crop of honey, and a strong population of bees is a major cause of swarming.
		Bees have to have water to dilute the stored honey into something like nectar to feed the larvae, and once they select their supply point in the EARLY spring, you CAN'T CHANGE IT without great difficulty.
		Both of us have a good understanding of BEE BEHAVIOR, which is the principle subject of Chapter 8 of The Hive and Honey Bee.

	Brother Adam O.S.B. 1985 – Breeding the Honeybee – Part III
		As far as breeding is concerned, the Egyptian has one great advantage: she is the only race of the honeybee which does not make use of propolis, a rare quality she shares with the Indian species.
		The pure Egyptian bee has a moderate fertility, is not particularly given to swarming but is inclined to be aggressive.
		Among these we must mention industry, gentleness, fertility, reluctance to swarm, zeal for building comb, white honey-cappings, a willingness to enter supers, cleanliness, resistance to disease, and the tendency to collect flower honey rather than honey dew.

	Chapter 6
		Supers are removed above a bee escape and swarming is controlled in the same manner as for colonies run for comb honey.
		Cut comb honey is produced the same way as chunk honey but the honey comb is cut to size and placed in plastic boxes or wrapped in plastic or cellophane to prepare it for market.
		Chunk honey is produced and sold extensively in the South and to a lesser extent in the North.

	UGA Honey Bee Program - Georgia Bee Letter - February 2004
		For honey bees in the wild, swarming is the natural process of propagating the species.
		Some people may have believed the banging and ringing to have an effect on the honey bees because some antiquated laws gave permission to beekeepers to trespass on other’s land to retrieve their own swarm; however, they were required to announce their presence by making a noise.
		Because honey bees always expand upward, the brood boxes can be also be reversed if the bees have mostly moved into the upper box.

	Swarming Bees
		If you notice a large clump of bees hanging from a tree limb or on the side of a house, these are honeybees looking for a new home.
		Each year honeybees swarm to find a new home and to produce more honeybees and honey.
		When the honeybee swarms, only half leave with the queen bee.

	Buckfast Denmark (English)
		The Buckfast strain combines a number of desired characteristics, such as hardiness, low swarming, gentleness, ease of handling, resistance to disease and honey gathering ability, in a single bee.
		The Buckfast bee is a hybrid that requires the periodic introduction of new blood to prevent inbreeding and to accentuate certain genetic attributes, such as mite tolerance.
		As soon as the caged queen and young bees are added, the new mini-nuc is ready for the mating station.

		Two of the primary reasons why bee hives do not produce bumper crops of honey during the honey flow is swarming and failing queens.
		The average "Hive Population" during the honey flow is about 100% or the same as the normal hive.
		This chart shows "Hive Population" peaking near the beginning of the honey flow and maintaining this population until the end of the honey flow.

	Texas Beekeeping History
		The swarming of bees was also encouraged as a way to increase the number of one’s colonies.
		The Southland Queen reports 150,000 bee colonies in Texas, producing honey worth $787,000, valued at 7 cents per pound.
		It just depends which, whether the bees or the farm is the thing that one should follow, and of course turn the one loose that is not the best paying.

	Honey Bees and Beekeeping
		By April and May, many colonies are crowded with bees, and these congested colonies may split and form new colonies by a process called "swarming." A crowded colony rears several daughter queens, then the original mother queen flies away from the colony, accompanied by up to 60 percent of the workers.
		For thousands of years, man has plundered honey bee colonies to get honey, bee larvae and beeswax.
		Honey bees are one of the most well-known, popular and economically beneficial insects.

		He developed a bee which was gentle, had highly fecund queens, were high honey producers with a low swarming tendency, and were good wintering bees with a low consumption of stores.
		At Buckfast Abbey in Devon, England, Brother Adam's primary aim was to breed a bee with high resistance to tracheal mites.
		The bees have a tendency toward a general dark Italian appearance.

		The frequent swarming habit of dark European bees, favored by beekeepers before moveable frame hives were available, resulted in their rapid spread throughout the eastern United States during the next 200 years.
		During the colonial period, the dark European bee ("German" bee), Apis mellifera mellifera, was the primary bee of commerce (1500-1850).

	Frequently Asked Questions
		Swarming is an instinctive part of the annual life cycle of a honeybee colony.
		Swarming can be controlled by a skilled beekeeper, however, not all colonies live in hives and have a human caretaker.
		honeybees are cavity nesters and will seek a cavity of at least 15 liters of storage space.

	Beekeeping, Urban Style
		A colony of honeybees is a cluster of bees that live together as a family with a single mother, within the hive.
		The Africanized Honeybee and our European Honeybee are both Apis melifera and are identical to the naked eye.
		The life span of a worker honeybee is only 4 to 6 weeks during the summer, and as many months in the winter.

	Kimberly Magrini: Projects
		Honeybees are the only insects in temperate climates that control their temperature by modes of social thermoregulation (30).
		The tendency to abscond and the high swarm rate of the Africanized honeybee indicate it is a strategist adapted to "exploiting variable, unpredictable, or ephemeral resources." In short, they use what they have quickly and efficiently (29).
		One is the reduction in the honey yield caused possibly by a combination of increased competition for nectar with feral bee colonies and the tendency for Africanized bees to invest in brood production instead of honey production (15).

	Buckeye Bee Basic Beekeeping Course: Beekeeping Class
		After the swarming season, bees concentrate on storing honey and pollen for winter.
		By April and May, many colonies are crowded with bees, and these congested colonies may split and form new colonies by a process called "swarming." A crowded colony rears several daughter queens, then the original mother queen flies away from the colony, accompanied by up to 60 percent of the workers.
		One method is to divide the bees, brood and honey in equal parts, then give the queenless colony a queen.

		Abstract : Every year honey bee colonies reproduce by swarming.
		Swarming is a complex process because the limited resources available to the swarm must be portioned carefully to avoid starvation, and the division of labor in the colony must be re-established.

	Ch03
		A honeybee colony will rear a new queen or queens under two circumstances: in the colony reproduction process known as swarming or in an attempt to replace an old queen with a younger one (supersedure) or to create a new queen in an emergency, when the old one is accidentally lost.
		Honeybees, like all other insects, are unable to control their body temperature internally according to changes in the ambient temperature; for this reason they are referred to as "cold-blooded animals".
		Like nectar, water is collected by the field bee through her proboscis and is carried back to the hive in her honey stomach, being regurgitated to the house bees on arrival.

	CCBA Help with Swarms
		Honeybees are a valuable part of nature because they pollinate crops, produce honey, beeswax, and pollen, and their stings are widely accepted as an aid in the treatment of arthritis.
		Once the swarm has entered its new home, removal of the honeybees is much more difficult and may involve opening the wall of a house to get to the bee colony.
		The swarm normally forms a football-shaped cluster of bees that may be up to three feet long.

	Discover: Baked hornet Japonais - Japanese honeybees' defense against hornets
		"European honeybees try to defend their colony by stinging, but they are soon annihilated." More effective, Ono has discovered, is a unique strategy adopted by the Japanese honey-bee which has evolved along the hornets: death by baking.
		THE POOR EUROPEAN HONEYBEE deliberately imported to Japan about 120 years ago and very popular with beekeepers there, still hasn't figured out how to deal with vicious surprise attacks by masses of giant Japanese hornets.
		If the bees (which don't eat the hornets) succeed in killing the first "recruiter" hornets, they stave off a swarming attack.
