Visited the hive today. Checked the outside of hive and stand for pests. Didn't see any signs of ants!
Since I removed the honey super a few days ago there have been more bees hanging out at the front entrance during the morning hours and evening hours.
The bees are bringing in alot of pollen.
So I put the honey super back on but left out the queen excluder. So hopefully that will give the bees something to do.

September 6, 2008
Forgot to post yesterdays visit.
On the 5th of September 2008.
Removed the honey super since the bees did not draw any comb on the frames. So the little trick of giving the bees sugar water to encourage them to draw comb didn't work this time around.
I used a watering can to put down some pesticides to kill ants and hive beetles.
Today's visit - 6th September, 2008
I thought I would see what the bees were up to as night approached.
There were quite a few bees on the outside of the hive and entrance area. I took a few photos and captured some video footage. Otherwise not much else to write about.
