My 2 yr. old bees swarmed today. Got them in a new hive. My hubby opened the supers they left and most of the frames in the 2nd super were filled with honey, and also hundreds of drone cells ( found out tonight that was what they were from looking at pics). And superedure cells on the middle of frames. One was almost 2 " long, both ends attached to the frame..? what is it ? and dozens of queen cells on the bottoms.
It is only end of May and most all the frames are filled with honey now. What to do ?? We fed them 1st of the month.... but why sooo many drone cells and one of them was just ugly.. was double drone cells one on top the other, and 7 " long. Some larva in them was dead.. that cluster of ugly cells was on the side of one of the frames. Do I have a health issue here ? What do I do ???? We put a honey super on top tonight.. but there is something wrong with the looks of these frames !! So appreciate any advice !!! Thanks !!!
