How to Stop a Swarm - Yellow hive tried to swarm but I shut them down. Thanks Frederick Dunn! The Yellow hive decided to swarm in the middle of dearth which is a suicide mission. My only chance to save the queen was to prevent the swarm. Thanks to a trick taught to us by Frederick Dunn it was possible to stop them. As soon as I saw the bees beginning to swarm I turned on the sprinkler and viola! The bees thought it was raining and canceled their plans. This little trick gave me enough time to get my gear on and do an emergency split. The question is will it work this time of year?

If you are considering installing a sustainable or edible landscape or becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeping as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first years of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome the challenges I encounter in my second year and beyond. I will also feature some how-to videos because I am perpetually curious and creative and am always building something.

Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
