Some of my bait swarms are not building up. The brood is very scattered. Some larvae do not hatch and are like milk towards the bottom of the cell. A very few are light brown milky. No smell or scale like AFB. Lots of drones and drone larvae being thrown out by either these hives or others. Have a sample for Beltsville. Any preliminary diagnosis?

EFB maybe. Are the larva laying flat on the bottom of the cell or are they twisting in the cell?
