Changed into our bee suits we tackled the swarm and its now in its new home.
On checking hive 4 we found 3 queen cells. Removing 2 we've left 1 which looks like a good cell so hopefully next week there should be a virgin queen wandering around.

Guess what was waiting for us when we came home
So we'd been away for the weekend, all the time wondering if there had been a swarm and we might have missed it. Well... we got home and did the usual walk to the bottom of the garden and found a swarm. Fortunately this time it didn't go very far.
