Went through my hives this past week.  Located in Lower Alabama, half way between Montgomery and Mobile.  I have a five frame nuc that. under inspection, had three frames of capped brood with one frame with three capped queen cells and one uncapped queen cell all of which were in the swarm position on the frame.  I also have capped drone brood in most of my hives, but none of them would have emerged and matured sufficiently in time to mate with the emerging queens.  I moved the colony into a ten frame hive but feel I'm nowhere close to handling the situation properly.  I am definitely open to suggestions as to how to deal with this problem.   MIKE in LA.
