I've inspected my hives for a second time today. The "hill" hive continues to lag - bees on original 5 nuc frames, but not much else. No clear presence of open brood - still a fair amount of capped brood. I'll check for signs of queen again in a couple days and intervene if necessary. I've asked a more experienced bee keeper from the local club to lend a hand on next inspection.
The "pink" hive continues to bustle and expand. They're beginning to draw out the frames in the medium super I put on two days ago. Lots of capped and uncapped brood. Overall looks great. Didn't find the queen today, but signs abound that she's in there working. Noticed a number of queen cells near the bottom of frames. Will probably intervene w/ assistance upon next inspection.
