in my books any swarm regardless of time of year deserves to live.
Take from other hives several frames of brood and bees , spraying them
lightly with sugar water and add them to the compliment to boost.
Just for safety , cage the queen and they will release her eventually.
something I've successfully done in the past
good luck
