I carried out a first inspection of the year yesterday. I have a brood and a half with the half on the bottom and as I was removing one of the middle frames from the top box, I found it had been quite well attached at the base with what I assumed was brace comb. Anyway, I pulled it out and found that the brace comb contained several rather large larvae. They were probably over a quarter of an inch and fat little beggars. I'm a bit worried in case they were queen cells, but maybe they were drones ? They certainly weren't in what you would say was a proper queen cell. Can somebody give me an idea on relative sizes please ?
The hive does otherwise seem to be going well and I have a Super on which they are filling up.
