Ok an update on this one. 

They captured swarm that I put in a new hive is going gang busters.  We did an inspection on it today with my mentor and he was totally amazed.  They have build out 8 frames completely both sides and the other two frames are about 50% drawn. 

I am in disbelief that they accomplished all of that in 8 days.
