I moved my hive this morning (Somerset, UK) and they're very very
active with lots of bees on the outside of the hive which I tend to
find indicates they're congested inside. I'll be sticking a super on
shortly (this is double brood setup already) to try and postpone the
chance of them swarming until it's a little warmer and I can take a
nuc or an artificial swarm.
I wouldn't be surpised to see swarms in the UK at the moment.
