We "installed" the bees on Easter Sunday, and went back one week later to check on how they were doing.
We checked out the white box first:
 |
| First thing we notice is that they haven't had a lot of the sugar syrup from the mason jar. |
 |
| They seemed quite crowded at the slot in the top board. |
 |
| There are quite a few dead bees by the entrance. |
 |
| Inside the white hive, almost all the pollen patty was consumed. We added about 1/2 gallon of syrup to the reservoir. |
 |
| We saw some queen cells! This made us a bit worried. |
 |
| The bees created a bulbous area of wax cells. |
 |
| We removed the queen cage. |
