It looks like about three cups all in one spot, which is not what I recall seeing queen cells looking like. But they are bigger than drone brood. And that page does help me see what they should and shouldn't look like, thanks. As long as they're as methodical as I am and work their frames before trying to move into the penthouse I'll be in good shape because they're not building comb too quickly and there's still three or four frames for them to build on. I have those portholes in the side and I peek in there every day to see what they're up to. Not too many go up there except to get at the syrup and to let me know I'm too early if it's still cold out. They do cluster in that hole pretty heavily though, for some reason. And I was afraid I'd jerk them into a defensive mode if I gave that cover too much of a whack. How do you like my hive tool? I kind of like the size of it and I don't have to put it down while I'm working. That means I don't have to look around to see where I left it.
