Swarm Cells!

We recently found swarm cells in one of our hives. Not sure what to do. Make a split (make the hive think it's swarmed so they will stay). Do nothing (let it runs its course). Go in and remove the swarm cells (perhaps give them a chance to calm the tendency in place).

At first I was going to split. I prepared a place for a nuc. Then looked again and changed my mind. Decided to give it a few days. Slept on it. Then decided to remove the swarm cells. Who knows if it's the right thing to do. Especially when there is no perfect formula for the right thing to do.....
