Feeding ?

[rossbyjove]

Was given a swarm on Monday 9th May.
Four frames and a probably unmated Queen.
They would appear to be healthy and drawing comb well but no idea what they have in the way of stores.
It's really crap weather right now and they are not flying.
Is it a good idea to give them some feed right now, if so what would be the best option.

Normal advice on swarms is if you don’t know the source give them a chance to burn off any stores, I’d be inclined to feed a little thin syrup then.

I do know the source I was given them on Monday from someones apiary a few miles away.
They seem fit ,healthy and very calm.
