Well today is day 12 since I installed 4 packages. I checked last week real quick to see if the queens were released and they were. I didn't have time to really look at the frames to see what the bees were doing. So, I decided to check today to make sure they were doing ok. I know I shouldn't go in that often but I am having a hard time figuring out when they frames will be full and another hive body added.
Anyway, all four hives seem to be doing very good. There were eggs, larva, honey and capped brood. About 5 frames have comb in two hives, one hive has about three frames, and one has almost 7.
I took 10.1mpx photos that turned out very good. Click on the thumbnail to see a bigger picture and then click on the big picture to see the HUGE picture with very good detail.
Each hive has a separate album. You can view them here.

So far, things seem to be going very good.
