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.
