I checked the hive yesterday and was happy to see the queen.  What I also saw, however, was a new queen cell being built.

I also saw capped and uncapped larvae so she's laying.  But I didn't see that all the frames were full and there were still 4 pretty empty.  I had added a second deep a week or so ago and added a few honey frames, so they will have room to grow.  I think that all the rain we had slowed them down for a week.

It's been cold these last few days so doubt they're out too far away.  I know I'm not!

I also added two supers to the top of the second deep so that they'll draw comb out on some frames in the supers.  My hope is that they will be ready to receive the honey when the bees are ready for the supers.
