A small cast swarm. I must have missed a queen cell somewhere along the way!

None in this particular TBH. I’m using it as a bait hive.
On closer inspection as put them into a mating hive there was no queen present in the clump of bees. So not even a cast swarm…maybe I did get all the queen cups!
And a fine view of my roof top apiary…its amazing what you can fit onto a garage roof.
