Hi all,
Did an inspection before noticed that one of our supers had a patch of newly laid eggs in one of the frames in the centre. They have only just started to use the super, and there is plenty of room in the brood box. The queen isn’t the largest I have seen and wasn’t present in the super she was in the brood box. I was unsure whether the queen could fit through the queen excluder or the bees have just moved the eggs, whichever, I was just wondering will the bees take them from the super and move them back down into the brood box.
Would appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks.
