Colony Increase
Colony increase is the process of building new bee colonies through splits, artificial swarms, or captured swarms. It is essential for renewing colony stock, replacing winter losses, and expanding the apiary. Successful colony increase requires adequate drone availability and favorable weather conditions during the mating season.
