Your report sounds like what I saw in my hive 2 days ago here in Maryland. I did a thorough inspection (I have 2 deep 8-frames with a medium on top). I also have only ONE queen cup under construction, so yeah, things are behind. The locusts have just started leafing out late last week, and the tulip poplars do not have any blooms yet. My queen is a real organization freak; the medium on top has 5 frames of almost solid capped worker brood (no drone brood), the deep directly below has 1-1/2 frames of almost solid capped drone brood (no worker).
Good luck this year.
