i have removed final supers and added apiguard to 3 colonies

i have read that sealed brood is low at this time of year and therefore apiguard effective

two of my colonies had whole frames of sealed brood

is this an issue i.e. is the apiguard on too early?

i need to finish the treatment as two of the colonies need feeding
 
I don't think it's to early your brood will emerge in 10 days.so is there enough stores in the hives for two weeks .
I'm treating apilife var and one of my three hives are being feed syrup also only because this brood/half collony is my biggest collony and they have little stores .

If you follow the instructions the treatment lasts several weeks covering the entire brood cycle. Emerging brood with also be caught in the treatment.

You should be fine. Do a mite check afterwards.
