Swarminess

I checked the combo hive today. Those bees are swarmy! They have about 10 frames now, and I'd say 1/2 of them had queen cups! They have plenty of space--I've been giving them a couple of frames a week--so I'm not sure what's driving them to swarm. I'm trying to decide what do to; split or not split. The problem is that I don't particularly want more bees. I'm going to sleep on it.

Al (my dad) recently built two TBHs with his friends, Don and Paul. They caught a swarm today and put it into one of the TBHs. I can't wait to check that hive out!
