Hi, I've just recovered some frames of broodcomb with some pollen in it, is this ok to reuse in other colonies?

Thank you all, some good ideas for me to try - as you say it is distressing to see albeit o lying a few in the scheme of things!

Just recently I have noticed quite a few dead bees at the base of my rapid feeder when I have been to top up. This hasn't happened before and I have been careful to top up slowly to avoid drowning the feeding bees. Has anyone else witnessed this, any ideas other than clumsy beekeeper?

Thanks for the feedback, that's helpful to know, Cheers!

Hi, thankfully no problem as yet, just wondering about pre-empting hence the query, I have narrowed the entrance so will see how that goes.

Hi all, I'm new to beekeeping 1 hive plus swarm settling in! I've read a lot about robber bees and wasps being a nuisance and then saw the 'wasp out' product from Thorne and wondered whether anyone has experience of it / would commend it?
