New Queen?

[saltcube]

I finally got to look in my hive agen on Saturday and found what i thank are queen sells. Is this normal for this time of year. They seem to be doing OK all things considered i found them last year and put them in a hive box some time in July or so. They had no time to store up so I've been feeding them all year/winter dry sugar and syrup out of a jar on top of inner cover. I think they had some brood caped but not sure i still have a lot to learn any help or suggestions would be grate. I could only look fore just a second the wend was blowing and was only 55deg or so.thanks Steve

Would seem a little early to me. Were they capped or anything inside? They will usually have empty queen cell cups in different positions of the hive. I wouldn't make too much of them unless there was something inside the cells and it may have been too cold to look.

No nothing inside! there were three of them all about 2 inches apart or so but what ever was in there is out now:eek:
