most were on one frame. all but one were cracked open and had dead bodies in them. the last had a pin size hole, so i am assuming it was in the same state. in the bottom super, i found some more cells that i had missed. that super was abandoned for lack of bees and the frames had mold. i pulled the entire super and threw the frames in the freezer with the couple i'd taken from the top.
they seemed very happy to have a new queen in there. hope they don't smother her with love :-). i'll turn her out tomorrow and hope i'm not to late.
