Question by : uncooperative honey bees?
i have 12 honey bee hives that i have raised up. every year in the spring they swarm like they should,and i always get the swarm and put them in a gum. But i currently have a swarm that will not stay in the hive. i have put them in there 3 times and they went right back up in the tree all 3 times. Is there no queen? Or what is going on?

  2. Your county agricultural agent should have a bee expert on staff to help you with your question. There are also bee keepers associations online.
