Had a hard time finding this one due to it being located inside a closet ceiling. Had a very small area to work in but the swarm had just colonized the void and there wasn't much comb. Comb that was there was new. Fairly easy removal. Got about 4 to 5 pounds of bees.

Looked like a very young hive, correct?

Queen probably hadn't even started laying right? I like those, just a big swarm.
