Apparently her majesty is all right. Even though it was cloudy and cool I opened up the hive yesterday and found young, uncapped brood. Obviously she is still laying although, again, I couldn't see eggs what with the dark comb and cloudy sky. I did pay for my impatience with several stings on the hands so today they've blown up like balloons. Last night I could barely make a fist. The girls certainly were defensive yesterday. I removed the hive top feeder and the picture shows the large number of bees in it crawling back into the hive.
