Made of twenty-seven yards of silk jersey ruched on the sides, it looked painted on her skin.

The mite nests in the bee brood and harms the colonies – a fifth of all bee colonies perish each winter in Europe as a result.

The time spent on control by this method is minimal and amounts to 10-15 seconds per colony.

During colony division in half to prevent swarming without seeking the queen, a question raises – in which of the two hives the queen ended up?

A few days later, I visited my apiary to see if everything was in order and I found several royal cells, some of which contained newly hatched larvae, and others simply eggs.

This mode is applicable when replacing the queen with the young one in the main colony, as well as to create layering or division of the colony in half, mixed with anti-swarming purposes.

In the summer time, this mode allows you to evaluate the working capacity of the colony, whether or not there is forage and its approximate power, to assess the presence and number of passive bees and the probability of swarming.

​If the hive remains without a queen so long that the ‘Singing” signal fades and returns to the initial reading, with its level slowly changing - "floating", then placing a new queen to such colony becomes very difficult.
