Bee Hives - First inspection after Installation

An early inspection after initial installation of NUCs to remove swarm cells and check on feeders

Why are you into the hive so soon after installing them?

Frank I'm not sure if you're going to see this post, but we're going over to foundation less frames.
This will keep the hive more hygienic and will save money on buying wired or non wired foundation.
It will also allow the bees to make the Combe the natural way, but in the supers were still going to use wired foundation.
When extracting I think it's better to use wired foundation if your using a honey extractor, as the Combe might collapse under the spinning of the extractor.
Ok that's it from me frank

hi, i am new to bees. I bought new bee hive and it swarmed and i left over with only 4 bees in my hive! :(
so the Q. here, what do you think will happen to these 4 bees? i noticed they were 3 males and one female (worker). <--- I know my Questions seems to be a bit kinda of stupid, but honestly i need an answer. TIA

Those aren’t queen cells dude it’s just a group of drone cells

Relax. What did you intend to accomplish with this inspection?
If it is an inspection to find swarm cells, inspect by lifting the entire colony and inspect it from the bottom in about 30 seconds.
Pulling every frame for an inspection means that you do not know why you are in there or don't know how to find it out.
If you want to know about "queen right" check one frame near the center and you are done.
If you want to know about swarm cells, no need to pull individual frames, just look from the bottom.
If it is about stores, how did it look when you installed it and how much have they taken from your feeder? No need to disturb any bees to find out.
If you have no purpose, why are you in the hive?
