This is my first year keeping bees I got a nuc late last year and after returning from Stoneleigh this afternoon I carried out my weekly check on my hive and at first I thought I had queen cells present but after checking some pictures online and in books they were drones cells (I think), the end of the cell was just sticking out further than the others and they were not pointing downwards. There was only four of these bigger cells and when I returned to double check I noticed at the bottom of some of the cells on this particular frame there was four or five eggs in some of the cells. I was just wondering if anybody had experienced this before, knew why this was happening and if its likely to cause any problems.
