The age of queen honeybees and the tendency of their colonies to swarm
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
Swarm preparations are leas frequent (at least during July and August in southern England) among colonies with queens reared in the current year than among those with queens of the previous year (Simpson, 1957). Queens which had survived one and two winters are now considered; they are described as 1- and 2-year-old, respectively.
