Thriving! But nest tends to mold. They seem to be bad about keeping old food and pooping in their nest. However I water them with tiny test-tubes with cotton. They have shredded some of the cotton and used it both to soak up and clean up mold/poo and takes that out into their graveyard/trash pile. They also use the cotton to soak up and pull honey from their honey feeder.
