Brought First Swarm catch Home tonight!

[blanc]

Feelin good about my first swarm catch even tho a bit small and hope they settle in good and hope they have a queen. Gonna wait couple days to look inside and put them in my hive box. All I can tell now is they are making cone but will see soon. Any suggestions on handling would be appreciated.

Sweet.  On handling instructions, leave them alone unless you are feeding them for a bit.   Otherwise, let them do all the hard work.

Thanks for the advice and as long as they making the sweet stuff I am fine!  :)

""Gonna wait couple days to look inside and put them in my hive box.""

What are they in now. If they don't have frames to build on, don't wait. Put them in the box asap.
