Some of my hives continue to swarm. I have caught 2 large swarms, but it's already nearly the end of July. I live in the northeast, so the season is about halfway over.
Seems unlikely to me that each individual swarm will be able to draw out 20 frames and get a large population by the end of September.
Here are my options:
1. Newspaper combine 2 large swarms, both with queens.
2. Set up 2 separate colonies, and newspaper combine before winter.
Thanks.
