Our second hive check was a lot less stressful, and we saw some positive signs of healthy hives.
New video clips on our second inspection, spotting one of our queens and what the hives look like during an average day: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCky8mhDQVb37iRGv_k05Otw

| See those tiny white marks on the black comb foundation? Those are eggs. Good sign! This means the Queen has been there within the past three days. |
 |
| If you look closely into the cells, you'll see curled up white bee larva. That is also a good sign - we could be getting new adult bees soon. |
 |
| See that bump towards the top corner of the frame? That is a drone cell. Kind of interesting. |
 |
| This is capped brood. See how the surface looks very uneven and pitted? That forms an air-permeable layer that allows brood to develop. |
 |
| Can you spot the queen? |
