What is going on, Drone brood in supers

[ericbeaumont]

the configuration it’s BB,new super with part drawn founration,2 supers full of honey and pollen and now drone brood in about 3 centre frames in each one,

Pollen in supers shows that one brood box is not enough.

Pollen is usually offloaded near the periphery and bottom of the nest and in a double brood set-up much of it will be found in the bottom box.

Need for space is two-fold: space for laying and space for storage. You've only addressed the storage, and even then have allowed two supers to fill before adding a third.

Way round this is to read the progress of the colony and give them space slightly in advance of need. Don't worry, we all get it wrong from time to time (I certainly do) but there's much more work involved in unravelling swarming plans or sorting a nest out of kilter, than giving them space at the right-ish time.

Hi. Just so I‘m doing this right, if I remove the QX and let the queen have run of the 3 supers as well, that should stop the laying workers up in the supers ? My only concern is once queen is up there she’ll start laying and the supers get full of pollen as well. This one colony is stressing me out lol. All my others are doing ok and happy. What is it with all the pollen. ? I’m back In work
, so it’s going to be tomorrow now, before I get chance to do this. Just so you know the configuration it’s BB,new super with part drawn founration,2 supers full of honey and pollen and now drone brood in about 3 centre frames in each one,

It won’t stop laying workers but the house bees will eat the eggs. Job done.
pollen should only be an issue in the first super

The problem isn't laying workers.
You are putting new supers under the existing ones, by doing this you are making the problem worse. More super frames full of pollen and more frames with drone brood in.
Either add space below the excluder so there is space for them to put the drones they want or leave the bottom super where it is and put new supers on top of that.
If you had laying workers why would they only lay eggs in the bottom super? they wouldn't.
Seen it many times in the past the centre frames of the bottom super with an arc of perfect drone brood in them.
Your brood box is too small for the bees to do what they want.
