Mine usually swarm regular as clockwork last week May or first week June. However yesterday the strong hive that arrived as a swarm last year, were up in the air. I watched as usual expecting them to land somewhere but they didn’t. Five minutes later all back in the hive. (No, it’s not a mating flight) Two hours later, did the same again. I knew what to expect today and yes, just now for the third time, same again. I assume HM is unwilling or unable to fly with them. I’m not one for cutting Queens and not experienced this before so it’s a case of deckchair and popcorn and watch the show.
Maybe at a ley line crossing?
Rather more likely a beekeeper the other side of the hedge.
who doesn't bother taking preventative action and just sits back and lets them go

We are living in "interesting times". It's not always possible to judge why things happen the way they do at the moment.
