It will be interesting to see how fast they draw all those frames out👍🏼

That was a nice prime swarm, Peter. Did you move the parent hive and put the swarm in its place? This can help stop the original hive from throwing casts👍

Just looked in the brood box, four queen cells, so just left the one. Hope it survives, if not I have a couple of spare nucs, so can use one of those queens.

@@martindale7559 ta Martin, I have tried hard to prevent swarming this year by doing splits and inspections, but obviously took my eye of the ball, wasn't expecting the colony to swarm. Lucky that I was about when they swarmed or else I think they would have gone fairly quickly.
