A new colony, started on foundation is not going to swarm under the
conditions described.

In a lot of areas the available nectar is not going to give the bees enough
reason to draw out 20 frames of comb. For example here in Florida we are
undergoing sever drought conditions. The bees are getting enough nectar at
present but they are not drawing comb. The splits I did in February have not
drawn out the foundation I gave them back then. Now I am going to need to
feed them in order to get the comb drawn.

Here I have at least a minor flow almost year round and not much of a
wintering problem. In other areas, undergoing a unusual lack of nectar, the
bees could need feeding up until September in order to have stores for
winter. These are some of the conditions alluded to in Georges post.
