    queen cell

    I would leave them to it and see what happens, it will save you money if it mates well and starts laying if not you can always buy a queen at the end of the month.

    first inspection and i am very confused as well as alittle disheartened

    take down the cells leaving one large one, drop some feed in and keep your fingers crossed for three weeks.
