bees in one hive were acting foolish for they last couple of days and they finally came out.we let them settle down and grabbed them out of a cedar tree in the bee yard.
Glad you were able to get them back. May I suggest you keep a bait hive or two in your beeyard. This way if they swarm they may just go to another box.
I've had it happen before and it happened to a budddy this past Friday. Brian Bray keeps bait hives out for swarms as well.

Catfish, you could put a piece of old comb in a hive, could also put a little lemon grass as well, either or really.
