Bees were flying in and out - means they have accepted the hive. Hopefully will start comb building and will get some brood in. Placed half a litre of sugar syrup for feeding - hope it helps.

Have you seen any pollen going in yet ?
Its a sure sign that you have brood in the hive.

At weekend put frames with foundation in. They had built on empty frames quite a big area already. also queen is laying, bees are collecting pollen and saw eggs in cells. Now just have to wait a bit to let them build and then more foundation in. Will be a good week for bees with great weather. Painting empty hives to nice blue colour.
