Good news.It was chalk brood
How did you get on with your SBI? They are usually extremely helpful with all sorts when they visit. Good to make contact with them.

He was pretty quick - in and out. There were a couple of cells he looked at closely and did a lateral flow test on. But nice guy.

I have a similar question: This problem has recently appeared in one of my hives. Not much brood at present but what there is has this. Is it also Chalkbrood?

Might be worth asking your local SBI to have a look just to be on the safe side.
