Will my observation hive make it

[will_s]

I finished building my observation hive a few days ago and installed two brood frames from one of other hives with their queen. The observation hive is an eight frame vertical holding medium frames. My question is did I put in enough bees for them to self sustain. Frames are about 1/2 brood, 1/4 honey, 1/4 empty and were covered with bees when I installed them.

that's a pretty small start but at least you gave them the queen
do you have a way to feed them?
could you give them another frame of goods?
