I haven't had to deal with this problem as yet. Do you think that they will
have time to swarm this late in the season?
A point to remember, the bees hanging off the front are only field
bees, kicked out by the house bees to make space inside. Get a cold day and
watch them disappear!! Could you not give them an empty shallow, anything
they store, extract, and feed back as liquid in the fall?
