This is the "North" hive, which might have the old queen in it if she wasn't killed by a new queen. I didn't see her the last time I checked it but it was about 2 bees deep on every frame before I added another brood box.

This is the "South" hive, or the lower half of the vertical split. I checked it the other day and they're building comb and there was some larvae in the upper deep, and I found a queen and caught and marked her. I didn't check the lower box once I found the queen, so I'll check in a week or two and see how the laying pattern is to know if she got bred from another colony.
