Cathy,
I believe what you are seeing is an unmated or very poorly mated queen.  Things will not improve without intervention.  Let's try to schedule a time when we can look at it together and come up with a plan.

HELP!  I installed my package on April 5.  I checked the hive 6 days later & things seemed to be doing well.  Today I checked & saw many drone cells but I couldn't see any brood.  I did see the queen & she appeared to be laying.  Should I panic?  My other queen was dead when I got the package so this is my only queen.
 
Thanks for any help!
Cathy
