questions re: swarms in this season.  Is there any external way to tell
if a hive has swarmed after the swarm left?  Will there be pollen
brought in the next day as usual, and will there be the usual young bees
orienting in front of the hive?
        What happens when the queen and her entourage are ready to swarm and it
rains for a few days.  Is there enough time before the new queens hatch,
do they fight?  Can bad weather stop the swarming?  thanks Gert Walter
