UPDATE: 2 days later - the little swarm has taken over the brood box I 
gave them.  They are still using the cardboard carton which I plan to take 
away tomorrow morning before they start working.

BTW - I believe this queen is NOT mated, no sign and she is very 
slim.  "Mating Swarm" - is that the same as an After-swarm? 

One more thing, I've been assuming this is a swarm from my Carniolan hive 
35 feet away 'cause the bees in the swarm are dark like mine. But, the 
queen is golden in color!
