I think I may have a queen cell. Problem is, I'm so new to this (just started keeping bees April 22) that I'm not sure what I think I'm seeing is what I'm really seeing.
I checked the bottom of all the frames for cells (as someone here suggested) and most of it was covered in comb but just above the bottom of the from attached to the lower side was a mass of some sort. It didn't look like comb, it was more smooth.
The beekeeping mentor I have can't come by and look at it until next Thursday, should I wait or do something now?
I have a 10 frame deep and only 5 frames are almost fully drawn. I checked all the other frames and there isn't anything similar looking. I didn't spot the queen but I spotted lots of capped brood and larva. One frame is entirely full of honey (both sides).
Any thoughts?
