Loving the herd life
Hello! I don't have bees yet, but I will probably get them within the next couple of years. I am especially interested in swarming.
I have a friend who has kept bees for a while and she said that whenever she sees cells for new queen eggs she crushes them because it means possible swarming. If I have another hive ready would it be okay for the bees to swarm if I could get them to go right to the extra hive? Should I let them swarm or crush the queen egg cells? I just want to be prepared.
