Have all new hives and initial install went great with tons of new capped brood / resources across both hives. Those are hatching out now, but it doesn't appear that the Queens are backfilling the empty comb with eggs. All 10 frames are built out and have honey; nectar; pollen; etc...so I just added second deep boxes on top and moved a couple frames upward to tease the bees there. Will replacement brood laying/capping be slower than the first pass when everything was empty? Getting worried that my hives have stalled as I'm not finding a lot of eggs laid or capped cells like before. I have not really spent much time inside the hives pulling frames for inspections this first month to avoid getting in their way....have not located my Queens but not seeing Queen cells either.
So how fast will hatched out cells get reused?
Thanks
Frame prior to hatching...
