New Bee
Old comb in a swarm trap. The trap, and this comb, had already caught one swarm earlier, so after hiving the swarm, put the old comb back in the trap and reset it. Lots of activity, but no swarm. So after a few weeks, took it down to check. For some reason, there was lots - masses - of pollen in the old comb, but also clusters of tiny white eggs in an area at the top of the old comb.
Two questions:
1. Anyone know what these eggs are?
2. Why would bees bring so much pollen into my swarm trap, but nothing else?
Thanks for reading.
