Did a weekly inspection today of my two deep newly established colony. Bees all over 2 or 3 of the frames in top deep filling out with brood in all stages everything looking good. Checked the bottom box and on one of the middle frames, there was a queen cell, with the top opened not tore out from the side. I inspect the hive every few days, too at least look for eggs and brood, and have not had a single day when there wasnt a ton of brood in every stage so why would they replace her? If it helps the queen cell was basically at the bottom of one of the middle frames, I checked every other frame in the hive and there were no other weird looking cells at all so dont think it was swarm cells or anything and I kind of thought that for supersedure there would be more then 1 of them??
