I have a two month old package queen who was doing really well at building
up the population. About a week ago, I noticed that the workers were balling
the queen a little and I couldn't move them off of her. A check on the
situation a few days later found here wandering around without great fanfare.
 
Today I check and I find no new eggs for what seems like the past week.
 
Can anyone provide insight to possible scenarios?
 
I haven't supered up the hive because they still have a frame or two to draw
out. Could they feel cramped?
 
Thanks,
