Abstract
The reproductive swarms usually include queens, young worker bees and
drones, leaving the native hive to explore the pre-selected site and construct a hive
there. Various factors which accelerate swarming events include congestion in the
colony, reduced queen pheromones, limited available food resource, different
ecological conditions, genetic possession of the colony, etc. Swarming is a significant
event for a honey bee colony but drastically affects beekeeping. Therefore apiarists
generally take specific measures to control packing events, including proper
management of the colony, clipping of queen honey bee's wings, destruction of a queen
cell, maintenance of adequate strength of the colony, re-queening of the colony and use
of swarm resistance honey bees.
