I found what I believe are multiple queen cups in a hive, two of which are possibly occupied - I definitely need glasses. There is room in the hive, and I just added two drawn supers. Although the hive has not backfilled the brood nest and is actively building foundation, should I interpret this as swarm preparation? If so, I remove the supers and split out the frames with occupied queen cups, correct? Anything I can do to get a honey crop or am I just -

For the record, any manipulations requiring that I find the queen are out. Yes, I am a lousy beekeeper, I couldn't find her if my life depended on it!!
