I inspected the brood frames this afternoon looking for signs of an active queen. I saw capped drone brood which I didn't see last week and frames of capped worker brood. I saw larvae in various stages of growth. I did not see any eggs, but the comb is getting somewhat dark so my eyes may not be good enough to pick out eggs on it anyway. There were no supersedure cells. The hive seems to be running normally with lots of pollen coming in today and lots of foraging going on. I take this to mean that Her Majesty is still viable, but I'll check again in a week.
