Sealed queen cells, Help please

So winker, when you went in today did you see eggs??? this really has to be the first thing you do I was told that eggs only stand for the first 24hrs then start to lay flat. so if you see standing eggs, your queen was there in the last 24hrs.

1 st rule of Beekeeping, dont panic
2nd Check for eggs
3rd be prepared

I have just about managed the first two, but number 3 is a real pain in the ARSE!!

All the best with the AS

no i didn't see any eggs, but there was quite a bit of uncapped drone brood. Does the Q not stop laying in preparation to swarming?
