Well yesterday I decided to have a peek into the swarm hive to see if the queen had started to lay yet ? and to my surprise 4th frame in capped brood (my neighbour thought I had been stung) as I danced around the hive full of joy.

Sorry if I sound a bit over excited but 1st swarm 1st laying queen, even though I haven't really done anything. I promptly put the have back together and will leave it for a few weeks now before I check it again, is that correct or how long should it be before I check it again ?
