Swarm cells can appear anywhere.  The most common position is at the lower
edge of the frames of the top hive body, so when I'm checking for them I
always tip up that hive body and scan the frame bottoms.  If I see them,
and need to cut them, each and every frame must be carefully examined, both
on the sides and bottom.  Often clusters of bees will cover a swarm cell on
the side of a frame, so much careful diligence is required for this job.
