UPDATE: 2 days later - the little swarm has taken over the brood box I
gave them. They are still using the cardboard carton which I plan to take
away tomorrow morning before they start working.
BTW - I believe this queen is NOT mated, no sign and she is very
slim. "Mating Swarm" - is that the same as an After-swarm?
One more thing, I've been assuming this is a swarm from my Carniolan hive
35 feet away 'cause the bees in the swarm are dark like mine. But, the
queen is golden in color!
