South Swarm Hive Update

Things are still very strange with the South hive from the swarm. At least two of the queen cells are open but there are no eggs or larvae. The bees have plenty of room but they have not moved any of the honey out and into the top box yet. Only a couple of the frames in the upper box have started to be drawn.

I did not see any queens in the hive, but I'm not very good at finding the queen yet. They have constructed one very large queen cell toward the bottom of one of the frames.

Here are some pics:


Capped honey and some open honey cells


An open queen cell


Another open queen cell. Is that a queen inside? I didn't mess with her.


A huge queen cell toward the bottom of the frame


One crazy frame
