Brushed Swarm
A brushed swarm is created by brushing bees off combs into a swarm box, then introducing a mated queen. This method is used for colony multiplication or as a sanitation measure to break the brood cycle. Unlike a natural swarm, the beekeeper controls the timing and composition of the brushed swarm.
