one of my hives is on a stand about 18inches of the ground,i slid a slate tile in underneath about 8 inches under the open mesh floor to see what was dropping from the hive..... there is plenty of cappings and what not but yesterday there was mouse droppings on it and halfs and bits of bee's...i cleaned it all off and today again was the same.The bee's are flying about and the hive is full of life,surley the mouse wouldnt be in the hive with all this activity,might he just be coming about at nite or what do ye's think,i havent a mouse excluder on because the entrance hole is very slim. oh and they are bringing in alot of orange poleen..any ideas what it is?...thanks Darren
