Yes they can swarm many times. Sometimes they get "swarming fever" and swarm themselves into oblivion. Usually, however they only swarm until about half of them have left.
Can they swarm more than once?
Tuesday my girls swarmed. I was too busy to check on them Wednesday. Thursday I checked on them and didn't see any activity and their feeder was empty. Today I went to check in them and the hive was empty! I looked around and found this, http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/[email protected]/4546946757/sizes/m/
this swarm seemed alot bigger than then one I lost. I was wondering if this might be the origional swarm or a new swarm? I've never heard of a swarm leaving their hive only to swarm a second time 15 feet from their origional location (first hive)?
