I had a swarm last march. I say leave them alone and watch for the swarm.

Subject: [ocba] Swarm Cells

Hey all,

I have a question about how to deal with swarm cells. I have a hive that has 
both supercedure cells and swam cells. None of them are capped, and I can't tell 
if there are eggs in them. I am a little worries the hive may be queen less, 
because they are meaner then normal. I pulled the swam cells because the bees 
are downtown and I really don't want them to swarm. Should I have waited until 
they were capped to pull them? I have another hive with an uncapped swarm cell, 
but I haven't pulled it yet. 

Thoughts?

Catherine
