Not sure how to include the shot but I have it on Picasa.

Anyway, there's a thin rope of bees starting at the top of the bottom deep. They're hanging outside the deep and are strung down to the entrance. There's a small clod of bees at the bottom of the rope but, I can't see a queen in there.
I'm afraid this may be the start of a swarm.
I haven't inspected for a couple weeks. Not since I added the medium on top of two pretty full deeps 2 weeks ago.
I have a 9-frame deep right next to this hive and can probably scoop them right into it.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed.
