Observations
Found swam cells in top honey super and multiple found as we progressed through the boxes.  Some of the cells looked like they were opened from the side.  We assumed they have swarmed.  We left 2 cells in the brood box 2nd from the bottom.  No eggs noted.  Good capped brood pattern.  We made a NUC with 2 frames of brood and resources. Time frame to check for mated queen = eggs June 25 - July 1. Could be sooner.
