Artificial swarm error

[tom8400]

Hi all

Was in a bit of a hurry this morning making most of weather before it changes.

I decided to do a split as I had found 3 queen cells one had a egg in, so after a nightmare I found queen, I put her in a new brood box with a frame of brood a frame with stores and a frame of 50% both. I put her new box on original site, and stood a new super on top.

I put the old box 2meters away slight different direction but I put all the full supers back on this one along with adding a extra to it.

I have just re read the steps I should have took, and see the full supers should have went on the original site new brood box with queen.

Will this matter do I need to re adjust tomorrow? I did put a excluder at the bottom of the new box to keep queen in just in case she tried to do anything as silly as me.

Any ideas opinions greatly appreciated

Only one had an egg in? Presumably the other two had nothing in? This scenario doesn't suggest to me they were about to swarm so all your hard work may not have been necesary. If the cells had larvae in then maybe but again only three cells doesn't scream out swarm preps. If you want honey then supers go on hive at original site and you can simply transfer them from "old box.

Couldn't really see into the others with the light, I may have panicked a bit being in a hurry.

Will transfer the boxes over, did want to split this hive though as they're calm bee's.

Hopefully they'll build up and both come out ok being early.

Thanks
