OK, that's what I thought.  Now, how about some advice.  Here's what I think is going on.

1. This hive DID NOT swarm.
2. The queen is from 2010.
3. My guess is that they are superceding her.

Because a hive usually swarms when the queen cells are capped, my guess is that it's a supercedure.  I plan on doing nothing.  I could open it up and inspect, however, I have two supers and two deeps and a booming hive, all in the middle of a flow.  I am going to chose to do nothing and see what happens.

Thoughts??

TIA

Get the swarm trap or hive ready and baited.
