I let them make a new queen. It kills the other queen cells. When the hive has lost its foragers, it will not swarm.
False swarm I do so that I move 10 feet the hive.
Then to old place foundations, +one brood frame and an old queen. Bees fly themselves to the new hive.
If there is no queen, Then I put a queen cell. Clipped queen will die out and often swarming hive is getting a new queen.
