I was introducing a swarm collected last night to a hive this morning. All was goping to plan, bees progressing up slope into hive and I could clearly see the queen. She pottered around on the slope, enjoying the attention of her ladies. As she reached the top edge of the huddle of bees on the towel I thought she was going to venture inside but instead she took to the wing and flew away, leaving the swarm behind. 80% are in the hive, the rest on the front and the towel slope. What happens now?
