Thanks for reply
Only drone brood left.
The colony was only a nuc which I recieved in June of last year so was not expecting to be dealing with swarms.
Overfeeding may have been an issue but will send some bees away to be tested anyway.

Hi all
Just back from first inspection today and the entire brood box is filled with capped honey apart from 2 half frames!
There are some capped drone cells and some half emerged drones (heads sticking out) that are dead.
Bees are very quiet and covering 2 frames
Location is Dublin Ireland...
