We were finally able to get into the hive and check both chambers. We located the Queen in the upper chamber and she looked happy and well. The bees, as a whole, were very active. Flying in and out of the hive. The two end frames of the upper chamber still show no signs of activity. Nothing but foundation. The pollen patty is about half-eaten. I expected the patty to have been completely consumed by this point but we have had some bitter cold weather lately.
All of the frames in the lower chamber had drawn comb. We saw drone cells, but no drones. I am feeding them 1:1 sugar water and they're drinking it down.
