Dear Mike:
Forgive me for intruding in your business.
I am kind of curious that you would not at least try to locate one of
the queens when you join swarms.  It might be that both queens die in
their "ducking it out contest" or the surviving queen might get hurt and
not be quite as efficient.  Getting rid of one (it should not be
difficult in a swarming environment to find one of the queens could save
you that degree of difficulty). My suggestion. Sorry if I interfere.
Best regards.
