Any opinions about when mouse guards can be safely taken off? I have a mouse guard over a restricted entry block - The girls must be struggling to clear out any dead bees.

If the guard is on properly then the entrance will be clear for the undertakers to do their work.

A few dead bees on the floor in Wintertime is no cause for alarm.
