Has anyone else experienced finding a small patch of drone brood in the bottom of super frames well above the QEx?

I found them this afternoon - the colony raised its own queen from a test frame about 3 weeks ago - the queen was seen going back to the hive last Friday 20th July. I'm waiting until this weekend to inspect the brood box, but can't help feeling anxious.

What can it all mean?
