Swarm Prevention

Once bees have decided to swarm the Aspinwall method and CombForms™ will not prevent swarming. 

 It appears that swarm control using CombForms™ must begin before the bees begin preparations for swarming. This is one area where the use of CombForms™ is going to require significant additional research. Whereas most of the other ways that CombForms™ can be used are able to be easily evaluated, swarm control evaluation can be tricky. If the hive doesn't swarm - is it because the CombForms™ worked? If the hive does swarm is it because the CombForms™ failed? In theory CombForms™ should work as well as the separators patented by Aspinwall - but for now, only the bees know for sure.
