    OK thanks for that, But here is the thing I have placed the swarm in a Nuc, with Only one frame of capped brood and no eggs twice they have left the hive hung up on a nearby tree and returned. What's going on here might they take off again or are they just trying to stress me out.

    Yes but im going to transfer them to a brood box with some dummy boards to see what happens, I gave them some drawn comb some brood and some combs to draw hoping that would keep them entertained, It has been 22 deg here for the past few days so wondering if that has anything to do with it.
