High pitched sound from an individual bee inside the hive: NOT queen piping

[BaconWizard]

So, as the title says.

Definitely not quacking/piping, firstly I recognise that sound and secondly this is a freshly caught swarm with no brood yet, only eggs.

There is the steady hum of a happy colony but occasionally a single bee gives-out "meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" not very loud. Any ideas what this behaviour is?

Possibly made by the wing of a slightly trapped worker or perhaps a bee that has joined the swarm and is having an issue getting fully accepted?

Agree, probably a trapped worker.

That was my thoughts also .

In fairness, if I were a trapped worker, that is the noise I would make
