I’ve got one hive I’ve been able to prevent from swarming without performing a split and it’s grown into a monster, I’m going to be too busy to check it for the next two weeks and am looking for suggestions, had considered a cutdown split with just the queen but my bees have swarmed with virgins this way before, also considered donating two combs worth of bees and capped brood minus the queen to some of the nucs I have. I keep a narrow end entrance with a vertical queen excluder 16 bars back and a drone escape just past that there are bees and comb on 28 of the 30 bars
