Forgive me for the newbie question, but!
I have my new hives sat on some tressels out in the garden, basicly waiting until a swarm comes up for collection.
They have been sat there for ages and nothing much has shown interest in them apart from me.
Today all of a sudden i got a few honey bees showing serious interest in them, going in and out and basicly checking them out big time.
I havent seen any honey bees in the garden at all so far this year.
My question, is there any likelyhood that these could be scouts looking for somewhere and i could end up with a swarm come knocking on my door?
