This last May my brother and I hived a swarm  that filled a deep super of
drawn comb.  They lit on the ground and  all we had to do was put the hive next
to them and they marched in.  On  observing them for a few minutes I saw a
golden queen and then not more than a  minute later a dark queen. We removed the
dark queen and used it for a  nuc.  Not sure this is unusual as far a 2 queen
swarm, but I had never  observed this in a swarm.
