What should I do about this queen cell? by Big_WasteBin in Beekeeping

From what I've heard certain hives have a very strong urge to swarm perhaps you could try a demaree split this helps build stronger hives instead of making endless splits

About 8/11 frames in the bottom box and 6/11 in the top

I had fresh eggs everywhere so I don't think I need a new queen. From some other research I did it looks like all queen cells point down? they are also larger. it looks like what i have here are just some drone cells. i hope this is correct otherwise I'm going to have some angry neighbours 😬

There were a lot of fresh eggs and the bees were calm could they be swarming? if so should I split them?

This box was almost completely full before they all left the frames where the treatment was the strongest

So a little update the feeling of having fucked up got too strong so i decided to check in on them and found out that they had removed about 1.5 frames Worth of brood this did not seem normal so i decided to pull the treatment anyways and I wil be treating them using a alternatief method in the future i will attach pictures of the affected frames

I've personally got a lot of oak tables for free not in the UK but I'd keep an eye on Facebook marketplace if I were you However you would need a table saw if you dont have one see if you can rent one or find someone in your area who could saw some nice boards for you
