Excerpt from A Thousand Answers to Beekeeping Questions The remedy is not difficult to imagine. If possible, let the hive be in a cool, shady place. A temporary shade, and Sprinkling with water will serve a good turn. Give plenty of chance for air. Some practice leaving the covers of the hives raised an inch or so for two or three-days. Some give two stories to the swarm, taking away the lower story after two or three days. Either of these plans provides to some extent against an overheated dwell ing. Some practice giving a frame of brood to the swarm, with the idea that the bees will feel that they cannot afford to abandon so valuable a piece of property. In any case, if all laying queens are clipped no prime swarm can abscond unless it joins, or is joined, by some other swarm having a queen with whole wings. The queen with clipped wing may be lost, but it is better to lose the queen alone than to lose both queen and swarm. Swarms may abscond, also, if they are secondary or after swarms and the queen has not mated. When she goes out for her wedding ight, the swarm may follow her.
