Curly green fingers

Hi, I requeened one of my collonys the middle of July ,
In August all old drones were kicked out.
Inspection 3 days ago lots of new workers and brood ect,
I noticed 4 drone cells with larvae in uncapped. Is this normal for this time of year? As there was so little drone brood I'm not really concerned.
Your thoughts please..
 
No problem

Thanks enrico that's good to hear . I'm really happy with my hives lots of stores pollen/honey and there looking really strong I must be doing something right . One more week of treatment then they will be closed down for winter . My varroa counts are 100+ in 5 days so the apilife- var is working well with no loss of brood I suppose it's only a soft treatment.
Thanks again .
