Hive Checks

My new hive is doing really well,i have added a second super on , its amazing what the weather has done,i am just waiting to get one super capped then hopefully get honey. The garden hive had a blip a few weeks ago, when i had hardly any eggs or brood so took a frame from new hive with new eggs to get garden hive to build queen cells, all seemed ok as i had two queen cells being built, i checked the hive Sunday and found a queen and about 6 frames of bees, brood and capped, but no queen cells, spoke to my mentor lincsbee, and after chat it looks like i got a swarm moved in. Just have to wait now to see if they are aggressive bees.
