Those are huge inner covers but I think I like them haha. Mine are only 4-8" wide each (scrap wood I had). 

I'm surprised that hive was not more ready to swarm than what he showed. A few cells on that last brood frame he pulled. They were packed left to right and top to bottom. If it wasn't fixin' to swarm, I'd expect it would be ready soon.

All he had to do - cover the frames with some old sheet.

Also, I'd pull the follower board out - the queen does not move too far away from the entrance.

But the bees will fill frames without the follower board better; otherwise, they are kind of "outside".
