Checked on the bees today. Noticed a swarm settled on a small tree about 12 feet from my hives. I went ahead and looked through my hives for signs of queens, eggs. No luck. Both hives do seem to have less bees... so that swarm was from one of my hives.
After the hive inspections, I gathered up the swarm and put it in a hive body next to the tree the bees swarmed. The hive body had 3 frames of drawn comb and 7 frames of foundation. I put a bottle of sugar water on it and will check tomorrow and see if the hive stays.
