Is this common?

I set the hive down about 3' from my other hive and before I could even think about getting the screened entrance off I had a few drones hovering around the entrance.

Does it mean that I probably have a virgin queen (secondary+ swarm)?

Does to me, usually before she is ready to fly from mating nuc is when I see it.
