I just checked for details with the beekeeper.
 
   The queen was put in the observation hive (5 std frames vertically) in
   the first week of March, with a frame of bees with some brood, in the #
   2 position from the bottom.
 
   That frame has been filled with brood since, and the frame above is now
   also filled with brood (mostly worker, some drone cells in appropriate
   locations). 3 and a half frames are covered with bees. 2 queen cells
   have been started.
