I am happy for you that the problem has been solved.  Now let us also hope for a good fall flow.  I am sure for now you are going to need to feed during the dearth.

Is it possible that the swarm was too large to accept a nuc as a good new home?  I have only seen this happen once.  The swarm left the box three times.  Once given a 10 frame box they stayed.  When given the choice a swarm usually chooses a site larger than a nuc.  Once they are established with brood the box size does not seem to matter as much as when they are selecting their new home site.

They are not to large for the nuc. But they sure didn't want to accept it for a couple of days.
Take a kid fishing !
