Hello everyone--to begin, I am not only a beginning beekeeper and a first time poster to the group, but I am also a rather computer illiterate computer user--I'm not even sure how to tell if my post is in text only format or html format, so if my post is rejected, I'd appreciate it if someone could just tell me how to submit it right--anyway, here's my quick, beginners question: My friend and I installed our Italian package bees in 1 deep body with fresh foundation on April 17th--we went back a few days later just to make sure the queen got out of her cage, and then we didn't really "go through" the hive until the 27th--the bees were busily working on drawing out 5 of the 10 frames, though none of the 5 were completely drawn out--we did also locate the queen--here are my 2 questions 1. It was the 5 frames on the left side of the box that the bees were working on, while none of the 5 on the right were being touched--will the bees move to these on their own, or could it be that they've only been working on the left ones because that is where we have the entrance feeder? 2. We noticed cells filled with sugar water and cells filled with what appears to be the brown pollen substitute we gave them when we installed them, but we didn't notice anything looking like eggs or larva--was it just too early to look for these or is there a problem--or perhaps we didn't look carefully enough any help would be appreciated--thanks Chris Konopka Pennsylvania
