Yeh as soon as you hit max the bees go on holiday. I lucked out on the first 2 swarms I hit. Activating on the first and third bee. On the third swarm I did it got out of control and my balence just went bye and I had to make several deposits. I was hitting literally no bees. I hate leaving midway through trying to pop the hive but I had to walk away for a day cus it was just getting out of control. I went back to it the next day and had to lower the stake just because of how much it was costing. Took another 33 bees but the bonus went ok and ended with a few hundred quid loss felt like a result.
