Today I inspected my hive that threw the swarm 4 days ago. There was a fair amount of capped brood, but absolutely no uncapped larvae. I also found about 5 empty queen cells and one that was unfinished but stuffed about full of jelly. Does the swarming queen stop laying several days before she leaves? I don't ever remember looking in a hive that threw a swarm and finding no larvae.
