From which hive has the swarm come from??.

[Taffy]

How many of you have turned up in the apiary, and found a swarm hanging in a nearby tree?, the first question that comes to mind-which hive has she come from?. To save time in opening all the hives, place around a couple of dozen bees from the swarm in an empty honey jar, with some flour, give it a shake and release the bees.Walk up to the hives in turn, and you'll see them returning to their original hive, covered in flour!!,

Why not a honey jar? (just to keep in theme)

A swarmed hive does not fly much. It is very silent.

It said that swarm has young bees but where went foragers.

My mate used to throw a few bees on each landing board. The hive that didn't react to the (intruders)was the swarmed hive!
