Decided that I did not need to look any further. I expect these new bees to hatch out in 16-17 more days at which time the hive should explode with activity, at least that is what is hoped for. The female bees take 21 days to develop,whcih is what a queen will normally lay in the middle of the frames. Seven of the ten frames were being worked and appeared to be covered with bees so I will need to keep any eye open for signs of swarming.
Hey, looks really good -- and a great photo!
