I dont take care of piping - swarming.
The first swarm normaly leave with laying queen when queen cells have been capped.
Queens start to pipe a week later and then the late swarm escapes. It is too late to beekeeper then.
Piping is funny thing but not much practical to me. Sometimes they pipe, and mostly not.
Beekeeper must act before they start to pipe.
