v8landy Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Just a quick tip/advise. Check your entrances are clear or the bees are able to keep them clear of the naturally dieing bees. They can quickly build up in numbers and a very reduced entrance of miss-aligned mouse guard can very easily restrict the bees. I have to say the worst offender of my hives was the beehaus mouse/wasp guard, on what is quite a strong hive. I have removed it today on noting that the entrance was very restricted with naturally dead bees, that the others could not / where having difficulty in removing the dead ones. I will monitor it over the next few days, but suspect wasps are not an issue now and so mice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
