When a queen decides to leave home

Swarm of bees

One of the questions set for us to swat up on before this week's course was to describe the process of swarming. I don't know about others in the group, but I find that when I start looking on the Internet, I get pulled into learning more and more about bees and realise there is so much about these little creatures that our course is only scratching the surface and it's for each of us budding new beekeepers to take responsibility and learn as much as we can about them.
