A few days before the emotional orgy that results in swarming, forager bees have been returning to the hive to find neither need nor space for the nectar they have gathered. On their next trips they do not look for nectar. Instead, they investigate knotholes and crannies under rocks. Some built-in nervous mechanism has reminded them that when the colony needs no more nectar, it will soon need...
