A Simple Way to Remember the Difference
Swarming = reproduction. Absconding = evacuation. A swarm is a thriving colony creating a new colony. An absconding colony is
fleeing conditions it can no longer tolerate.
Understanding the distinction helps beekeepers respond appropriately — whether by managing overcrowding to reduce swarming
or identifying environmental stressors that may cause absconding
A nectar flow occurs when flowers in the surrounding environment are blooming abundantly and producing large amounts of nectar. During this period, bees take full advantage of the opportunity, foraging and bringing nectar back to the hive in steady streams.
Central Texas winters are rarely consistent, but in recent years we’ve experienced longer warm spells, sudden temperature swings, and even spring-like days in January and February. While we may enjoy the break from cold weather, our honeybees respond very differently to these changes. Unseasonal warmth can significantly affect colony behavior, food consumption, brood production, pest pressure, and overall survival.
