I went through the hive yesterday and worried I didn't see any brood. However today I saw some Not a lot but some.
Yesterday, I had added empty, undrawn frames to give the packed hive more space and added another deep. But I worried that, IF there's a queen in there, she needs space now.
I had a few frames in the freezer that are kind of old but at least they were already drawn out so I added it to the new deep where I saw another frame or two with some uncapped brood. I'm hoping it's not a drone brood. We'll see. At least I'll know I gave them room to grow.
I did see some queen cells that look empty. I also saw a lot of craziness around the hive a week or two ago and a youtube video showed similar activity when a queen was heading out for her mating run. That could be what was happening. Time will tell
