I sometimes wonder if the weak little swarms this time of the year are supercedure swarms. They finally kick out an old queen, and maybe a few bees follow her.

That's a thought. Other Beeks are seeing the same thing. Never seen it noted in the books.

Most supersedure is in the autumn.

True, but supercedure does not instigate a swarm.

I would think this late it's a pressure swarm they didn't like what was in their last home/hive

When they don't like their home, usually they all leave and it would be a big swarm.
