Swarm location advice please

[fullframe45]

Today one of my hives swarmed.Ill not go into all the details but anyway i saw them and boxed em up. Im a bit stuck for room so all i could think of was to place the paynes nuc in between my other hives and due to it being a home made solid floor with todays temperature i just opened up the entrance for airflow.The hive they came from is only 2 mtrs away ,but with a hive in between.Have i made a big mistake or should they be ok now they have swarmed.I did not see the queen but they went into the nuc ok.

Position is fine but if it’s a prime a nuc us too small.

Thanks thats reasuring, they are in a paynes nuc that i converted to 8 frames last year and as it was my first winter i was concerned about getting them through , so with my very limited knowledge i glued a piece of plywood over the mesh floor. I will give em some feed tomorrow as they are on new foundation. Thank you.

Leave it until the evening with fewer or no bees out.
