How long after the bees compleat making swarm cells do they swarm ?
Acts2:37: Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39: For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40: And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation

They can even swarm before they make them. One of Bailey's did. Alan showed us the signs.

yep but sometimes you can change there behavior and prevent the swarm(opening the brood nest ,put a supper of drawn comb above,many different strategies) -but if they have gone so far as to make cells the drive to swarm is going to run its course-even if you make the mistake of removing the cells-keep in mind there is also a difference in swarm cells and superseder cells-placement on the comb is a big clue in that category- ;) RDY-B
