Too Many

I've lost count of how many swarms there have been so far this spring. Six? Seven?
And here's another one.

Whatever the total, it is too many! However, a couple of the hives have swarmed once too often, and now appear to have no queen. So the swarms we've caught will take over the queenless hives, and not add to the total number of hives. We're fine as long as there are no more swarms...
