I had 2 hives swarm this year. Pic1 & Pic2 from Hive2 is going as expected, with way more brood this week than last.
Pic3, Pic4, &Pic5 are from my Hive1. Was just thinking a later swarm, going to catch up. Not seeing any capped brood, but Pics3-4 "could" be eggs/larvae. When I enlarge the cell pictures, I think I may be seeing double, off-centered eggs or crazy-looking larva. I do have an capped queen cell (think Pic5). If so, the possible workers laying eggs trumps/wipes out the possible new queen, right? Bottomline - what am I seeing and what should I be doing/watching for with my weaker hive?
THANKS!
