Okay so here's the background I'm STARTING to go commercial have 40 production colonies so far plus 20t hat are my dad's and I hope to have 100 nucs by this fall that a local is making for me like I said this is only the start but considering that the big guys here only run up to 400 hives I'm not that far off so my big question is how do I keep them from swarming ? Normally I would make a nuc with the old queen to ease their impulse but what technique is best to use when you have so many hives ....I guess it just boils down to How do you commercial fella‘s keep the hives from entering swarm mode and if their already there how do you change them back to a more productive mode? Hope I made myself understood and sorry about such a loooong question
any answers are greatly appreciated thx
