Well, I took a look inside the hive this afternoon. Just a quick look at a couple of frames in the top and bottom boxes. No brood and no eggs are present; well, none that I can see. I also didn't see the queen this time. However, there is plenty of pollen being stored.
I would have hoped that by now there would be brood being reared. Should I be concerned? I don't know. Anyway, any incoming advice/support is gratefully received!
All this has rather taken the shine off the fact I made my first "gloveless" inspection today. The bees were very docile and calm, and were gentle with me!.
