Bees are bearding consistently, regardless of temperature, because there’s not enough room in the hive.If a colony begins to decline, drone bees are usually the first to go. This also shows the colony is resource rich they can afford to expend time and resources for the care of drones. Drones are made in preparation to mate with a new queen. High drone population, plus evidence of capped drone cells or larvae.
This can lead to a colony becoming honey logged, which reduces the colony's brood rearing space.
High pollen flow in you area, but limited nectar availability.

Brood frames are full of resources (nectar, pollen, honey, capped and uncapped brood).All frames within the hive are fully drawn.The whole width of the entrance is used by forager bees.A very high population of bees in the hive.These are often the reasons that they are swarming in the first place! There are a number of signs your colony might be preparing to swarm. Once colonies feel the urge to multiply, very little will stop them.Īs is with the majority of beekeeping, swarm mitigation is about understanding bee behaviour and attempting to assist them as best you can. It’s a great risk to the colony doing so is a sign that they are healthy, well populated and have access to good amounts of nectar and pollen. Swarming involves the queen and a percentage of the colony leaving the original hive, usually due to outgrowing their current space, to establish a new home elsewhere. If beekeepers don’t notice the signs and respond accordingly, honeybees will multiply naturally through swarming.
Like almost all fauna and flora, honeybees have an urge to reproduce.
