All right, I'll get directly to the point.  A queenless swarm will go
back to the colony from which they issued.  If for some reason that
colony has been moved or removed after the swarm has issued, they will
enter the next closest colony, whether they are welcomed or not.  It is
quite unlikely that they will go off to establish a queenless colony
somewhere else.
