A Double Screen Board: A Simple Way to Control Swarms
 
A double screen board is a tool that can help you control swarming in your beehive. It's like a barrier that separates the hive into two parts. The bees can share warmth but can't physically touch each other.
 
How it works:
 
Prevent swarming: By moving some of the brood (baby bees) to the top box, you reduce the hive's urge to swarm. This gives the queen more space to lay eggs without feeling crowded.
Create a new hive: Once the baby bees in the top box hatch, you can combine the two boxes to create a larger hive.
 
Benefits:
 
Control swarming: Prevents your bees from leaving the hive.
Create new hives: Allows you to start a new hive without losing bees.
Simplify hive management: Reduces the need for additional equipment and labor.
 
Remember to regularly inspect your hive to ensure the double screen board is working effectively.
