I don't have a video yet from these days...
May 22nd was 63 degrees and sunny, and we checked at 2:15 pm. It's been too cold and rainy to check on them until now! Beeatrice (Right) - didn't see any eggs but larvae and capped brood, and removed some moldy looking pollen pattie. Now taking syrup...need to add more! I added a little, 1/2 to 1/3 full. Need to go make more....
Saw Penelobee (left) and larvae in top box. Same story with pollen and syrup. Turned and shifted some frames but 6-8 frames were being worked below.
May 24th I went back to give them some fresh sugar syrup and wipe out the buckets.

May 2nd and May 8th
Here's a video from May 2nd and May 8th!
May 2nd was 60 degrees and sunny. We saw eggs, larvae, capped brood, pollen, new honey and comb! We turned the entrance reducers to the next largest hole, and added a second brood chamber to both colonies. Both still had plenty of sugar syrup in their buckets, and we saw lots of pollen coming in!
May 8th was in the mid to high 60's, sunny and windy. We saw eggs, brood, and larvae in both, and spotted queen "Penelobee." We gave both colonies a new pollen pattie...sugar syrups still full.
