caught these at 2:00 am in the full moonlight.. had a nuc and put em in it. I left them there for the rest of today, the bees have a small ball hanging off the bottom front of the nuc like its another swarm.. weird, does this mean they are crowded and need a deep? I only had a nuc, and need to build like crazy.

Chances are they might run. Use an excluder under the queen to keep her in the box for a couple of days. Open the nuc and see if all frames are covered with bees.

they gone.. about twice this in the box. what now, combine them with another hive?
You can. I have about half that number on the side on one of my swarm traps right now. I had a swarm and then lost them. They are the left behinds. I am just going to leave them on there.
