A flow chart of the colony swarming event in SIMplyBee. The swarm() function returns an R list with two colonies, swarm and remnant, both of which are non-productive. Parameter p represent the proportion of workers that leave with the swarm. After the swarm, the user can cross() the virgin queen of the remnant colony, or use an already mated queen from another source using reQueen(), which mimics the beekeepers’ options.
