I have one hive that has swarmed about 2.5-3 weeks ago. They have no brood eggs or larva. The bees were very calm which makes me think they may have a queen. I added a frame of eggs today to see what will happen in case my thoughts are wrong about the queen. The problem is the whole hive is honey and pollen bound. I am only a 2nd year bee keeper and have not had this problem before. I was thinking of exchanging some of the frames of honey and pollen with frames that only have foundation from nucs that have been placed in 10 frame deeps today and recently captured swarms that are now in 10 frame deeps that are about 5-6 frames drawed. What would you do? Thanks
