Quick Update

So I checked them again on Sunday.  She has laid only in the smaller upper section of the brood-and-a-half box.  I couldn't see 3 day 'rice grain' eggs, only the slightly older brood.  Oh dear, did I kill Her in my last visit?  Why is that always my worry?

There was no brood at all in the main brood box.  Why?!  Why is She laying so little?

Oh joy, one more thing to worry about!

Grumble.

Post Script:  I really mustn't grumble; the bees have been absolutely lovely on my last two visits.  Generous, calm and non-stingy.  I fed them, and they ate.  How can I possibly complain?
