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.
