Congrats Penny,

It’s a very neat experience and a large swarm. In my honest opinion that is not a swarm for a 5 frames nuc box like you have pictured. You’ll need a deep 10 frame box for it, if not more.

I had a large swarm leaving my box at one point after they moved in, because of space constraint.

Good luck!

Cristian
