> 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?
I would check whether these are cells that have hatched and then been
resealed. As the queen is still present I would then suspect supersedure.
Best wishes
