Synopsis

Swarming is perhaps the most powerful instinct beekeepers encounter while working with bees. Swarm Essentials outlines the ramifications of swarming behavior, the benefits of swarming, proven swarm management techniques, and how to recover and even prosper from a swarming event. Author Stephen J. Repasky's inaugural publication marks the latest addition to the Essentials series from Wicwas Press, and is an excellent read for any beekeeper who hopes to make it past their first year.
