Wild swarm dying - any ideas?

This wild swarm was going very well for about a month, upon check today we have very low numbers and this…any insights?

When was the last time you checked on them? Did you ever see the queen/eggs/brood?

The frame that you’re showing looks like some comb they’re drawing, nectar, some pollen, and scant bees. Unless I am missing what you’re showing me.

If they went “well” for about a month and that is all they did I would hazard a guess the queen did not make it. No brood on that frame and the bees simply died out. Are there any other frames they have been active on for a better idea, hard to really tell with one photo?

Cheers
Rob.
