Was that a request for comment? If so, you did well on your first effort at CB. You were a bit premature on the pollen box. We usually wait until brood has expanded into the next higher box and move a full box of brood down. Six frames of brood should be good.
Couldn't find your town in my atlas, but anywhere in VA, you should still have some broodnest expansion time left. Pay attention. The bees can roar through CBed supers with broodnest expansion and get ahead of you. Don't let them fill the hive to the top.
I appreciate anyone open-minded enough to try the CB system.
