One of the key events in the beekeeping year (for both the bees and the beekeeper) is the swarming season. In order to obtain the maximum honey yield from colonies, the beekeeper needs to manage the natural swarming process.

Much has been written about swarming but this often takes the form of rather prescriptive instructions for swarm control which may, or may not, have the desired result. Swarming is simply reproduction and this book begins with a discussion of the biology of the honey bee in relation to this, the most important part of a colony’s life cycle. Some aspects of the biology of swarming are well understood but others, particularly those that occur within the confines of the hive, are not. However, these have a profound effect on colony behaviour. Only by understanding the biology behind the swarming process and using it for guidance in the application of methods devised for its control, will the beekeeper be able to successfully manage operations.

Over the past 34 years, Wally and his wife Jenny have studied the biology of swarming and used this as the basis for the development of reliable methods of swarm control. This book is presented in two parts: the biology behind swarming followed by the practical swarm control operations that can be used in the apiary. It is suitable for all beekeepers who wish to gain a greater understanding of the entire swarming and swarm control process.

Wally gained an Honours degree in Forestry at University of Wales, Bangor, followed by a postgraduate scholarship at the University of New Brunswick, Canada, studying the ecology of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). On returning to the UK, he worked for the Forestry Commission, both in the field and at its research station in Hampshire, where he made friends with a beekeeper and had his first encounter with honey bees. He moved to the Nature Conservancy in Wales and was later transferred to the Institute for Terrestrial Ecology. On retirement in 1987, he started beekeeping and has lectured extensively both at home and abroad. He has a particular interest in the swarming process and the methods for its prevention and control.

Would be better with longer cable and without the LED light.
I like that the install is very easy, non-permanent, and can be very quickly removed if needed. It fast charges and the magnets are strong (the reviews that say it doesn’t hold probably aren’t using a MagSafe case). That said I have two annoying issues: 1) There is a light that comes on when the car is turned on. If you don’t put your phone on the charger it will say on for a minute or two and then eventually turn off. 2) The included USB-C cable is too short. It only just barely reaches the outlet in the front bottom center console. It would be better if they had included a 6ft with a 90-deg connector to draw power from the back seat ports. 3) It doesn’t not include a charger. In all, the mount and charger are fine, but be prepared to spend an extra $20 on a longer cable and charger to make it all work.

Phone holder, not charger.
Nice plastic phone holder, works a lot better if you don’t have a phone case, it fits almost flushed. It doesn’t use “stickiness” to hold its self, just pressure from bottom phone, it holds nicely but has a little gap on the sides, it too much pressure is applied then Tesla screen starts showing pressure. The wire is small but reaches the under panel how ever, it does not fit flushed, will need to do some tinkering. I slide the wire under the charger where the phones go. Now the door can’t close but it can pass through. That charger is not fast but it works. Edit: nah, don’t get it. The charger doesn’t charge, it will charge them stop. It works like a phone holder…
