I took the attached pic for inclusion in a different thread.
when I looked in close up I noted white spots in the drone cells

Are these eggs or something else They don’t look it to me a lot are on sidewall so could be LW (is that likely in a Q+ hive)
All observations welcome.

Other info
There is one area of solid capped brood + som hatching on another frame but no young pupae or eggs that I could see . I was contemplating a test frame when I found HM hidden at bottom right on the front wall …. At least I didn’t kill her when almost setting lite to hive during vape.
I noted they were v short of stores the other day but fed invert which they have obviously taken down

I can’t see any capped brood
The first frame has capped stores
How about pollen? Is there any?
How far off is the Ivy? That should give them plenty of pollen. Maybe give them a pollen sub? Like Ultrabee?

Assuming that I'm looking at the same thing that you are, I'd say they're not white spots but rather, the light reflecting off your newly fed invert.

Another vote for reflection off the invert rather than eggs, unless I'm being blind.

its just normal debris....nothing more complicated than that..wax fragment or perhaps a few crystals. Nothing sinister whatsoever.

If the hive is queen right...and this curtain of drone below the frame is not needed...then it is just redundant until spring...hence it is unoccupied and a tad neglected looking.

The specs might or could be remnants of Varroa poo, not all is on the bottom I see some mid cell wall height and a few specs a little higher.

Thank you all
