Hi All,
I have added a few supers with queen excluder to a brood box as the colony are expanding at a rapid rate and building up stores quiet nicely (god knows how in this weather). Anyway, I was thinking to add a top entrance through the crown board to allow workers easy access. Is this a good idea?
I did notice wasps hanging around the other day so would a queen excluder on top help defend the colony and prevent the Queen from flying out into the supers?
They are starting to build out queen cells with an egg in one so a I guess a split/swarm in imminent. Maybe best left alone for now until the split?
