Package Bees after 1 week

[dp]

What should I expect on my first inspection on a new hive with package bees introduced last Sunday.  I had only one frame of drawn comb, so I'm hoping that I should have some brood.  I cheated and checked to see if the queen ate her way out of the cage after a couple of days and she had.

One observation so far today, one hive is very active with 20-30 bees coming and going at any given time, but the other hive has 2-3 bees coming or going?  Just the difference in two hives or what?  It is kind of cool today, mid 50's and threatening rain, but there is some blooming wild crabapple, plumb and pear trees close by.

You will probably see some eggs and larvae in the previously drawn comb.  And hopefully they will have drawn some new comb as well.   Larvae are capped at day 9, so you will not have any capped brood yet.

You will also see some stored nectar and/or sugar syrup.  

The difference in number of bees coming and going is not something to worry about.  Hives are diverse in many variables, including how anxious they are to get out on a wet, cloudy, cool day.  And you might go back to look an hour later and the numbers would be reversed.

5 frame hive needs minimum 1 full frame of food to get ovar bab weathers.
It sounds that your hive has not food stores for many days.

First you should give 2 kg sugar diluted to 2 litre water.

To speed up brooding, it is wise to keep only 5 frame in the box and then restrict the frame space to 5 frame with movable wall. It takes 4 weeks before new bees start to emege. During that time half of package bees will be dead for natural reasons.

Heat is very important to the coolony now. No mesh floor open and keep upper insulation.
