I caught a swarm 15 days ago and went into the hive for the first time today. On inspection they were working all 10 frames, w/8 fully drawn, @5 with capped brood and eggs. I have the classic football shape brood w/@50 or so empty brownish cells on all brood frames. Some of the eggs had a brownish tint to them although 75% were bright white. Is this any concern??? In and out in 20min and i added another deep for a second brood chamber. I live in Maine and most beeks go with 2 bodys. Any advice is welcome???
