Three weeks after hiving. Lots of brood and what looks like queen cells.

I see no QCs more like cups and drone brood . Bees make them all the time. Did you see the queen?
You have young larva so I bet your queen is healthy I love bee pics. Thank you good luck.

 

[MurphysinLaw]

this one is like the end of my finger.

 

[drlonzo]

judging by the amount of brood on the frames, and where located, the cell is most likely a supercedure cell. Do all of your frames have spotty brood pattern as these?

 

[MurphysinLaw]

So far only three frames are drawn out. and yes they all look like this.

That's not a QC it looks more like drone brood and a queen cup . I get them cups all the time and they never turn in to any thing. Just saying.

You may want to consider replacing the queen. The first pic looks good, but the others show way too many drone cells scattered about. Normally drone cells will be in groups if they are planning to raise drones, not scattered about in a shotgun pattern like you see here. My guess is that the queen has some problems.

 

[MurphysinLaw]

As a noobee I've had little luck spotting the queen. replacing her would be difficult. I'm just going to ride it out and see what happens. Very interesting regardless.

That's a capped queencell.

That's a capped queencell.

I agree, its just hard to tell from the angle.

I don't see any worker brood. Sorry to say, but that hive is in trouble. I would requeen.

You have several queen cups WITH larvae in them. The hive is well on it's way to getting the queen replaced.

 

[MurphysinLaw]

Without any worker brood is this hive going to have enough new bees to survive before the new queen starts laying?

Your hive should be just fine the bees seem to be taking care of things, relax and watch the show.
