Ok this is a full month with this hive

I inspected my hive this morning, its on its 4th/5th week, I have just a brood box, the first two frames i pulled out didnt have anything on them in fact two on each side where basically empty. So I found my queen and I notice what i believe to be a swarm cell its on the bottom of the frame. My question is are they telling me they are getting crowded? Do I need to remove this cell?

If it was me, I'd take that frame and another one and make a split (5 frame nuc ). Just put the nuc in the same place as your hive is now and move the old one to some other place in a week swap places with the hive and nuc and that will give you your 2nd hive to compare with next year.

Yep, a split is a good thing. No need to get rid of a good queen cell, you never know when it will come in handy.
