clipped wings

brent
16 years ago

I was talking with a friend about installing new queens in a couple of hives and he mentioned clipping wings on the queens to prevent swarming. I have never read of this in any book, or heard of it from anyone else, but it seems perfectly simple and reasonable at first glance.

Does anyone do this?

If so, how is the wing clipped exactly?

And what are the pros and cons of wing clipping?
