Took another look-see today and the ladies are doing wonderfully well. The top deep is nearly fully drawn into comb--8 of the 10 frames--and newly laid eggs, larvae and capped brood are evident. Everything looks good in the lower hive body as well. Numerous capped cells and visible larvae are present. I added the queen excluder and a honey super today even though I can't use the honey since I need wait until August 9th to pull the Apistan strips. The girls can use it for winter stores, though.

Looks like things are going well. I am curious though how much work is there in running your hive? Myself and a coworker are thinking about starting this same project as a hobby.
