When is it robbing and when is it swarming?I wrote last month that I had gotten two free swarms this season. They came to me from points unknown. As of yesterday, I can add a third swarm to my season's collection. That's three last year and three this year. Before last year, I got maybe a singleswarm every two-three years. I don't know from whence they come, but I am happy to get them (Except for the cranky one I wrote about last month. More on this later in this piece.). I am aware that some of you get 20 maybe 30+ swarms per year. I don't, so these free bees have been exciting for me.
