Swarm on back of hive

I have never seen this: A medium sized swarm settled first on a branch about 12 m up and then decided to move to the back of a hive ( containing bees). I hived it and it seems to be " normal". While the swarm settled the bees from the original hive keept flying in and out as if nothing was happening. Odd? Seen before?

Re: Swarm on bacl of hive

There would have been plenty of lovely homes - my Trap Hives, just meteres away, for eample or many large ,old trees with hollows.. I wish the bees where a little more cooperative:)
