Swarms shouldn’t be happening this time of year, but they are.  I am wondering if all of the construction is causing problems.  This one was on a very large branch so I couldn’t just shake them into the nuc.  I had to use my very special beekeepers tool, (a fast food cup). These girls were putting wax onto the branch to hold on.  When I put most of them into the nuc everyone else followed quickly.
