Thanks for joining us today as we continue to look at important preparations for hives that survive the winter. We call these hives overwintered colonies. Today we’ll specifically look at an effective swarm prevention method known as the Demaree method.
But first, let me thank you for your interest in honey bees. Thank you for realizing how important honey bees are to our food supply. 1 out of 3 bites of food is the result of honey bee pollination. Do your part by keeping bees.

David,
about the Demaree method- if you don't have frames with drawn comb, or not enough frames, can you use frames with just wax foundation?
Not really, because you need drawn comb that can be used immediately. The extra spacing might help, but will not be as effective.
when can I re-assemble the hive back to the normal set up or can I?

The whole point of this is to ensure the queen understands that she has more then the space she needs,as well as backing the hive off of swarm mode.it ensures that the queen will start from square one in the bottom brood box and work her way back up with some encouragement. Me personally don't go more then a 2 week period without checking on the few hives I have(perk of keeping only a few hives). I am constantly moving drawn and undrawn frames. Moving any honey frames to the outside of the brood cluster. Queens will not cross frames on honey. This includes frames with honey on the top half of the frame. To encourage the queen to move into the upper box's. It's a good idea to consolidate the honey frames in the second brood box if she is in the bottom. If you have 3 frames of honey, put two on the outside and one in either the middle or the other side of the box.
