I made my first split from a hive with swarm cells. They had capped queen cells. I noticed this morning that they were a little slow going? It that normal. I put feed on the top also. Just wondering if there first morning they get a little slow for a while.
First time split question

All the foragers would return to the original hive unless you moved your split 2 miles away. It would take a while for some house bees to graduate to foragers.
