It's Still Christmas in Livermore

Alan is the local beekeeper that taught Jessica and I everything that we know about Beekeeping. He has a great website and he also teaches beekeeping classes at the Green Gulch Farm and Zen Center. Alan told us that when he sees queen cells it feels like Christmas.... he has been gifted queens with which to split his hives and expand his apiary. Alan likes bees. It would seem that Jessica and I are having an extended Christmas this year with our bees...... we just keep finding more and more swarm cells. First we discovered seven in the top box, which later got revised upwards to twelve or so. We were pretty confident that we didn't have any swarm cells in the bottom box when we split the hive.......but lately we've began to realize that we really haven't got a clue what's going on (or perhaps what we are doing). It would now seem that we have new queens everywhere. You've heard the piping from the new hive, but we also have lots of piping happening in the old hive as well, so there must be multiple virgin queens there too. We checked back at the video of the last hive inspection and found a further three swarm cells partially hidden under a carpet of bees (you can just see some of them on the photos I posted - check out frames 5 and 6). That makes fifteen swarm cells in total and a bumper Christmas all round. The question now with all these queens is whether the bees will swarm despite our efforts to persuade them otherwise?
