Welcome to beekeeping
It's going to be a steep learning curve. Have you posted in the Mentorship wanted section? There are a lot of members of the forum who are from your area, they might be able to give you a quick intro to beekeeping, what you are looking at, some of the basic terms etc, from one of their established colonies.
Nice pictures by the way
grist of beeks there!
I would also remove the super , the colony is small and wont need it yet,if at all this year, depends on the forage and how quick they build up . also we refer to" grubs" as brood, if they are sealed they are capped brood
If you have "grubs", you must have had a queen (which you should have with a swarm), and I think I can see eggs in the first picture, so you still have a queen or at least had one in the last 3 days.
I dont see any queen cells in your pictures, I do see a couple sealed drone brood. To me the only thing "wrong" at the moment is the queen is trapped above the queen excluder and cannot get down to the lower brood chamber. I suggest removing the excluder.
One question I have, please dont take it the wrong way, how come you have homed a swarm and yet dont even know the basics (a swarm contains a queen, what eggs look like, the difference between worker, drone and queen cells etc)?
best to remove the Queen exclude and bottom box they are climbing through.
It may be a good idea to brush/shake all the bees into the brood chamber after transferring any drawn super frames (looks like just the one frame?) to the brood chamber as well (it can be replaced later) then reduce the brood area using a dummy board.
Better still would be to follow the above procedure but into a nucleus box.
A swarm from something that small would be suicide, the QC are most likely supersedure cells. Either way I'd leave them to it, I had a weak nuc that superseded. Good luck.
