If you can get into the hive that swarmed. I would try to rescue as much of
the food stores as possible from that hive. These can be used in the nuc or
frozen for later use. Also take out other frames and keep those someplace
inside or in sunlight to discourage wax moths.

Hope this helps.

Good Evening.
We have two hives, one of which swarmed on Sunday. That hive was started from
a package 70 days ago and had two 8 frame deeps. We were just about to place
a medium super but were a day too late. The other hive was a Nuc , With two 8
frame deeps, top deep not fully drawn out. Since the blue hived swarmed on
Sunday, today we have noticed robbing taking place at both hives. We quickly
covered with damp sheets to deter the robbers. I am just about to go to the
apiary to see what is going on now. We just have two hives at the moment.
What should we be looking for and how should we proceed please, many thanks.
