Thank you for your comment. That is true if you start with fresh laid eggs in the upper chamber, but if you already have queen cells it will take less time. This is a general idea on how to manipulate the hives in the event that swarming is likely to happen.
This is a more advanced technique to manipulating the hives to prevent swarming, thus waste of resources. If you can watch other videos to understand the principle for this technique it will be easier to understand. This video demonstrates the logistics on how this is done. There is also a link of a flow chart above to help you understand the workflow.
OK, OK, OK...very confusing. Start by telling what the objective is before moving pieces all over. Maybe you can get some more traffic noise. The airplanes aren't distracting enough.
Sorry about the confusion. There is a flowchart on the comment above that will walk you through the process. You can also find other people description on the process to help you understand.
Good info! Had to watch it a few times but I see what your doing and makes sense! Going to give this a try. Thanks
Great video. Thanks for modeling the process.
Very well done. Thank you so much!
2 weeks ain't gonna be long enough for a mated queen. Closer to 30 days

Whew… too much work. Maybe when I retire and have time try it.
A bumbling, confusing demonstration, and inaccurate representation of the time it take for the a new queen to mature and start laying.
