Brian,
It sounds like you have done several inspections on this new hive including having to remove burr comb. Every time you inspect, the bees have to stop and fix everything that you messed up, in their mind. At this point try just opening the lid and see how they are doing to see if you need to go any further.
I use screen top boards with insulation boards above the screen so that I can see what is going on without disturbing the bees.

I only inspect once per week just to see if the Queen is laying. Once I find eggs, larvae etc, I don't go any further with inspecting as I know she's laying.
Nuc 1 is powering along with the 3 ideal frames covered in bees, frame 4 ( full depth ) is being drawn out, plenty off eggs, larvae & capped brood.
Nuc 2 was the burr comb builders. It's doing quite well too. A tiny bit of comb in the lid, no eggs in the comb so removed it. They're drawing comb on the frames with plenty of eggs too.
Nuc 3 will be inspected on Monday, a full week after catching that swarm.
