Finally! The bees are moving upstairs! The bees now seem to be drawing comb on the blank frames upstairs and just generally milling around. Here is a picture of what it looks like when I opened the top of the hive:
This is what the bottom deep looks like when I take the top deep off (notice how many more bees are wandering around, the top box should look more like this):
And still no Queenie this time, but I actually saw a whole frame filled with eggs up in the top deep! So even Queenie has moved upstairs.
The bees were extra grouchy today though, I was making a bit more noise than usual (I accidentally made some cracking noises when using my hive tool to break apart the frames. The bees hate that). They buzzed my veil a few times and stung my thumb once. This time around I think the sting was less severe.
