The hive inspection did not go well. More bees are being born but the queen doesn't appear to be laying eggs, brood patterns are spotty. I'm stopping by the bee supply store to buy frames and foundations. We're going to try moving them to a completely fresh setup to see if it helps. A new queen might be in order as well, I'm going to consult some of the other beekeepers first.
