Apis, what are the pros and cons of trying to start a new hive with the teacup swarm and their queen? The reason I ask is that a couple of local beeks have mentioned putting a handfull of bees with the queen in someting like a one litre flower pot and starting new colonies. It's an interesting sounding concept and, potentially, a usefull option to have in the "toolbox" but I have to wonder how successful it is. I presume that one of the prerequisites would be toasty warm weather?
