I caught a wild swarm, very nice docile bees (lucky on catching them and they are nice!). I moved them into my Warre' hive on Monday and they seem to be getting along well. When they were in the old Langstroth hive that they swarmed to they were building comb like crazy, they had five relatively huge combs built in 3 days. They seem to be strong but what is the best way to get them settled so they have enough resources for the winter? I already had the advice to feed them so I'm going to do that, but it is best to just leave them alone and let them build like crazy? My main interest is providing habitat for them.
