No Neo Nics
New Bee
I had a look into a hive yesterday. The colony in the brood is small - about 7 frames. There are only 3 or 4 frames in the super.
On having a look at a couple of these frames in the super I saw larvae - so there must be a queen.
Between the 2 is the queen excluder.
So, what has happened and why?
Also, what shall I do?
I have thought about simply taking the queen excluder out, and having a 'brood and a half'.
I've also thought about simply moving the super frames with larvae in down into the brood chamber.
What do you reckon? What would you do? Thanks.
