Still doing okay--I think.

I opened up the hive yesterday to see what is going on.  They still haven't started building comb, which is concerning me.  Also, about two-thirds of the capped brood has emerged as well.  I didn't see any eggs laid, but that may be just me (newbie with bad eyesight).  The bees seemed really calm when I went into the hive, and although I didn't see the queen, I'm hoping she is still in there somewhere.  The weather keeps going back and forth between hot and sunny to cold and rainy.  If I were the bees, I'd be a little confused too on what I should be doing this time of year.

Here are some pictures of the hive when I opened it.
