Into the hive with Lia and Ken

Yesterday Lia, Karly's friend from Berkeley, Ken, our friend from Scotts Valley and I took a look into hive #3.  The population was not noticeably larger.  One of the brood frames that had been transplanted now had empty cells with some nectar.  We did spot the queen.  There was brood on  2-3 frames, capped and larvae of many ages.  We didn't see any eggs.  I took out one of the frames in the top box and replaced it with a foundationless frame.
