I have been dragging my feet putting supers on and doing splits. I have justified my laziness by using this long winter as an excuse. Well Dave, if you caught a swarm, I better get on it. I have at least 4 hives that are bursting at the seams and will no doubt swarm soon. I have noticed in the past that it often happens the first sunny day after a stormy period- just like what is about to happen. I keep my hives "tight"...very crowded, to help keep Small Hive Beetle at bay. This can backfire on me though during swarm season.
