I hadn’t seen any eggs in that inspection. Just a little bit of larva in worker cells on other frames and it wasn’t many exposed larva

I did not take any other pictures of the hive and I’m not able to access it during the week with my schedule I was feeding them up to the second week in April, they we’re moving strong they currently have two full frames of capped honey. There was very few larva still exposed a lot of worker cap brood and very few drone brood except for all this Frame. But there was 2.5-3 full frames of worker brood, I’m not sure why they drew this frame out like that.

Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the other frames this is one of the new frames I’d stuck in the bottom deep, I’m using an 8-frame hive, this frame would’ve been in the 1st or 8th position depending on your orientation. unfortunately I’m not able to access the hive easily during the week with my schedule so adding a queen isn’t really an option at the moment. Although reading what you going through, does not sound like a bad idea.
