Post swarm check

Wednesday June 27. Overcast, breezy, 74 degrees. My hive swarmed on Sunday the 24th, so I needed to go in and check for a new queen in the remaining colony, since the old one would have left with the swarm. They started out at the beginning of this month as a 4 frame nuc colony, and as of today have expanded to about 8 frames. The last two on the right side are still empty, and the last one on the left is just beginning to have comb drawn. On this check, I saw a lot of new drone cells, a lot of old empty cells in one frame in the middle, and a full frame of new capped brood on another frame. I was busy looking for the queen, but did not find one. I am disappointed at having them swarm, and the loss of so many bees, but my hive still seems to be going strong with the remaining bees, so time will tell.
