Is drone brood bad?


I went into my hive on 6/13. Pictured below is one frame in from the outer edge.  I see swarm cells and drone brood.  This was the only frame I pulled from the brood chamber. I want to go back in a few days and try to tell if my queen is still in there.  Is drone brood a bad sign?


I did not get stung on 6/13, which is a win for me. ☺️

Thank you,

Portia
