There is definitely uncapped larvae.but I think I see uncapped larva too.
Maybe in person, but not from those pictures.Hopefully those are just drone cells!!
I bet R2elk will be able to answer that question!
So what does the uncapped larvae tell you? Is that a worker/nurse bee problem or a queen problem or ??There is definitely uncapped larvae.
Maybe in person, but not from those pictures.
take this as what it is... which is not much... I just played joust with a possum using a tomato stake and got him to go vacate... only to turn around and see his cousin when I came back around...I am not sure of what I have because I made and error.
I saw those and tried to take a decent photo, but my IPhone is an overly expensive piece of crap, and I did not have a holder to lay the frame against.
They look like a superseder cell, and a swarm cell. They are much larger than the drone cells I had.
Also I noted last night the bees in that hive are being kind of lazy and just hanging around on the landing.
I expected more brood and honey cells than I saw also. I did not see the queen, but that’s no biggie, she is unmarked.
I did not lift the top brood box off and look in the bottom box, I am thinking of peeking into it tomorrow.
I also want to see how much brood I have. If the bottom looks dismal, I might have to run and pick up a new queen.
I saw drones leaving my other hive yesterday, flying up and off to the north, they went high, I assumed some one lost a queen, as the drones normally just lay around.
But I don’t know for sure.
So, I don’t know what I have. Yet.

I didn’t look closely... but my immediate impression was a spotty brood pattern... meaning the queen was growing old, running out of bee making batter, or whatever... the bees knew this and started making queen cells... which in that case would bee supersedeure cells...
I didn’t look back at the pics just now... but will try to do do later... but if others see it differently feel welcomed to say you see something different, etc.
