Many bad things here. Varroa mites, watered bee bread, chalk-brood, many dead bees in the hive, little to no new brood, spotty pattern, two possible supercedure cells. Am I losing her? Did I accidentally mash the queen during the last inspection? I think it's time to be in panic mode.

She is now down to two brood boxes, an excluder, & a honey super (1/3 full)
It seamed like I've seen more bees working at the entrance. Yet there is very little new brood in the hive. I will keep an eye on her to see if she develops similar symptoms to Mary.
She has drawn no honey comb this year. I took off the honey supers. She's only two brood boxes now.

Wow, this does not sound too good. I hope you don't lose the hive. I will send some positive vibes your way.
