I took a quick look into them hives today. I only pulled the end frames to see if the bees were working them yet. I added more syrup to the feeders--the nuc was out of syrup, the Happy hive was working hard on its bucket, the Not-So-Happy hive not so much.
The Not-So-Happy hive is still slowly working on its first medium box.
The Happy hive has started working some of the middle frames in its 2nd box, but still hasn't finished the lower box yet so maybe I should have waited a week before adding the box. Oh well, at least I know they won't swarm.
The nuc has started on frame 1 in the upper box, but not frame 10. The 10th frame has the grease patty on top so they seem to avoid that one mostly. The bottom box is not as full so I swapped the top and bottom boxes.
They all seem to be doing well...
