Check it again in about 10 days. by then there should be a few eggs and a little brood if the queen is laying. She may not lay very many to begin with, she only puts out what the bees can tend to. If you do have another colony, Take a frame of all capped brood, shake all the bees off and give it to the small one. Capped brood does not need nursing and as soon as they hatch they will become nurse bees shortly. Also if you have it give them a frame of honey/pollen, or give them one to one sugar water. :) d2
