....and they aren't mine for a change 
Both arrived in nucs i put out in two different locations but they never went for the full size empty hives. Watched one arrive this afternoon but loads of fighting which I have seen before and some bees arriving full of pollen so I assume it is an arriving swarm? Also carrying out dead ones. No hony so it isn't robbing.
The other seems to have settled in so far.
I will want to move them out as these boxes are nationals and Im no longer wanting to use nationals so how soon is it ok to move them on? Before I have just left them in their nuc until ready to move them to a bigger home.
