I was speaking to someone yesterday who want to put two colonies in an Omlet Beehaus which is on order (A plastic Dartington with two side-by side brood chambers).
The question arose as to what to do if queencells are found. The Beehaus is not designed to be dragged to one side to carry out an artificial swarm which is the classic swarm control technique (it would cause confusion to the non-swarmng colony in the other side in any case).
So what would be the suggestions for swarm control?

May your bees read the same books as you do.
