Any swarms yet?

Has there been any swarms yet this year. I checkerboarded my one large hive, spread out the brood nest of the small one, and added ten frams to them, so I hope my bees stay in the box this year. Time will tell.

Heard of one in Greensboro. Haven't seen one myself yet.

Picked one up yesterday in Greensboro. Nice sized Italian about 5 lbs.
Hanging in a cypress tree about 20 feet up.

Have not seen but the one swarm around my hives. Wierd how they settled, then dropped back down and went in the hive. I wish I knew for sure they were out of that hive or not. Ended up splitting that hive, which started in March as a five frame wintered nuc.
Anyone else seen or heard of swarms?
