I was in my hives yesterday in the 100 degree weather. In one of my strong hives, I saw tons of swarm cells. It doesn't seem to matter how many boxes or how soon I put them on, I just have that luck. Anyway, in a desperate attempt to keep them from swarming, I split the hive into three hives. I thought I remembered reading on this forum that it might help. But maybe I was supposed to kill the queen too? Regardless, it was too hot to look for her, so I just split them.
Another question. Are larger queen cells necessarily better? There were some HUGE ones in there.
