I have a question; inspected a hive midday yesterday, bees very busy, plenty of bees in the hive, a deep and 3 medium full frames/boxes, unlimited broodnest, plenty of food. I found some capped swarm cells along the bottom of a frame that were empty. No others present. Eggs/larva present in the hive, and last years queen. Why would they build empty swarm cells?
