Hey y’all, This morning I went into my hive to check on some things and to add a platform under the hive. My current configuration was two brood chambers and a medium super with cut comb foundation. When I opened the top, I found the cut comb foundation had all fallen down from their frames. There were no wires, per design. Why did it all collapse? I removed the medium super and so now the hive has just two brood chambers. I took the super away and left it in a place to allow the bees to escape. Then I went back and took all the frames out. There I found about a dozen small hive beetles, which I and my daughter took great joy in squishing. Do I need to be worried about finding that many in the top super? At least I decreased the population a bit, but how do I know if I have too many? Thanks! Tom |
