Two Swarms in Two Weeks...

Two early swarms in two weeks = 2 hives but only one queen... so I  decided to take brood from the front box (the one with the queen) and place it in the back box (the hive that swarmed not once but twice). Anyhow, with no queens in the area for sale, we are attempting to force the queenless hive to make a queen with the fresh brood.  It takes 14 days for a queen to incubate. Now we wait!
