Saturday was a beautiful day so I decided to do a thorough hive check. Click on images to enlarge.
This is a frame from the upper chamber. A few weeks ago, this was the lower chamber and there was very little activity so I switched boxes. Seems to be working fairly well.
This is a frame from the lower chamber where the queen is. 8 of the ten frames look just like this. The other two are sorta light. If you look at the lower left side of the foundation, I think I spy a developing Queen cell. It's too cold today to open up the box to check. Will have to wait until mid-week. I hope this doesn't present a problem...
