Swarming

There were a huge number of swarms yesterday and it will probably be the same today and tomorrow due to warm weather creating perfect conditions.
Swarms are a real nuisance to the non-beekeeping general public so make sure to clip queens if you can, and check at least once a week for queen cells so that a colony can be artificially swarmed.
