A swarm occurs when half of the colony leaves the hive to find a new home. Swarms are typically docile and are relatively easy to catch. Beekeepers also set up swarm traps, which are used to lure and trap swarms. To find out what to do after catching a swarm of bees, click the link in bio!

Bees need ventilation in their hives for a healthy

Bees need ventilation in their hives for a healthy colony. Without adequate ventilation, condensation will build up in the hive, which can kill the bees. Modern beehives allow for natural ventilation, and the bees help with ventilation as well.

They do so by standing at the entrance or around the hive and flapping their wings. This will push air into or, suck air out of the hive, aiding in the hive’s overall ventilation.

The queen is the most important bee in the hive.

The queen is the most important bee in the hive. She is the only one that lays eggs, and therefore is responsible for the growth of the colony. Sometimes the beekeeper will decide that the queen needs to be replaced. This is called requeening a hive.

There are a few reasons why requeening should occur. For example, when a queen gets older, she may not be as efficient at laying eggs. Sometimes requeening a weak hive is necessary for the colony’s survival.
