Well it's not just me then, had a call from the guy I share the allotment apiary with saying there was a swarm about 10 foot away from the apiary. Definitely not from mine and looking at them, definitely not his either. we've got a prime suspect, though there are more than few other colonies around us that we know of.
By time I got there they were in a nuc, fanning like mad at the entrance while the last stragglers milled around. Looks like a good sized prime swarm and I dare say they wont be in that nuc for too long.
