I've got 2 hives 75 feet from my back door - in a subdivision in Hoover. Three dogs in the back yard and they have learned not to go stick their noses in the entrance but other than that I haven't had any problems. I give the neighbors a couple of pounds of honey and everybody is happy.

Glad your work swarm made them a queen. Any idea what happend to your other hives queen? Did they swarm? I've got to dig in to my hives soon. I haven't opened some of them in a month.

My buddy just texted me and another swarm box is full. Gonna move them to a hive next weekend. Maybe they will build up. I was planning on taking down my swarm traps around the first of July. How late do you guys leave them up?

I have already taken mine down. Recently though. You'll have to feed the heck out of that swarm. I caught one in early July last year, clustered on a mail box that made it over the winter and has done fine. I had to feed them all summer but it was a tiny swarm and that didn't take much syrup to do. They'll probably need pollen sub too.

The new Queen may not have been able to mate good with all this rain. Where are the new cell? Are they it the bottom of the frame or from middle up. At the bottom usually means swarm. If up high means they are try to replace her. I would let them do they're thing. Here's only bad thing about that. New queen has to go on mating flight and start lying eggs. Once egg is laid it takes 21 days to hatch. Sometime they will get robbed out if the numbers get to low. Good luck maybe they pull it off.

Since they have swarm cells built, they will likely still swarm, even if you split them. I'd do a "shook swarm" on them, after you take your split out. You can watch a youtube video and see how it's done.
