Not much change

I like looking into the hives.  I no longer smoke the bees and they don't get riled up as I look around.  The smell of the wax and honey is invigorating, too.   Since it was warm today and it's been 8 days since my last inspection, I donned my bee suit and took a look.
The population of neither hive seems to have increased.  The amount of brood was about the same, too.  However, I didn't go into the bottom box of the new hive.  There was a fair amount of pollen in both hives.  The girls in the old hive seem to be eating the stored honey.
 
I recall that this frame was full of honey on last inspection.  
I think I'll leave the bees alone for a couple of weeks now.
