I hived my first swarm 10 days ago onto foundation. Found the queen a day
later. Did a quick inspection yesterday, Bees drawing comb nicely, no
eggs or larvae yet, but I was surprised to see two 'play cell' queen
cells.
 
Is this normal, or is it that I got a virgin queen and she hasn't mated
yet, but why the started queen cells ?
 
Cheers
Graham
