How late in the year will bees still swarm? There must be a point where they decide it is to late in the year to be able to build a colony and be able to servive the winter. Had a tornado of bees above a hive that returned to hive like they were thinking about it yet. Just wondering if there is a cut off point.
Thanks for the information in advance!

Then worry and handle (or not).Never late for variety of reasons.You'd be better off to peek inside and see if any swarms cells are present.

Here's a good source of what is possibly sprayed and when.

You can always register on the drift watch site. Not 100% guarantee that neighboring farmers will inform you, but it can't hurt.
Ok yes all good 2 weeks ago now the land owner told me he was mowing and there was a tornado of bees above the hive the otherday. Check and brood is verrylow. Bees healthy but they spraying with helicopter over corn fields there so not sure that good.
