I would move the old queen and maybe two frames of bees one or two frames of honey into a nuc. If you don't have a nuc ready you can probably get a cardboard one at Bailey's. An alternative would be to just split the deeps into two hives. Make sure the swarm cells stay at the current hive location and the old queen is in the hive at the new location. You need to be sure they haven't already swarmed though. It could have happened when no one was around, and you wouldn't necessarily notice. ______ Walter You never can tell with bees. ~ Winnie-the-Pooh
