We captured one of our swarms on March 20, 20 days ago, put it in a deep hive body with 8 frames of foundation and two frames with some brood in various stages, and fed them. Today when I looked inside 7 out of the 8 frames are drawn out and filled with capped honey and nectar (it's sooo beautiful and clean!) and the two frames that had some brood on them have scattered capped brood and larvae. Not what you'd call a good laying pattern at all. Lots of bees. No drone brood. One empty supercedure cell, not very big. I'm wondering about the queen. The queen who came with the swarm was about a year old. Any advice?
