    When bees swarm, it’s a sign that they are overcrowded or preparing to reproduce. Beekeepers can prevent swarming by splitting the hive, removing excess honey, or giving the bees more space by adding additional frames. Some beekeepers also practice “artificial swarming,” where they move the queen and a portion of the bees to a new hive to prevent the colony from swarming.
