Its been just under seven days since the queen excluder was installed. I went on site to see what the bees were doing. I only took the top cover off and looked between the honey super frames to see what kind of bee activity was taking place. There are alot of bees above the excluder milling around on it. There were not many bees on the honey super frames. I hope they are not planning on sealing up the excluder...
So far the bees have not drawn any comb in the honey super...
I didn't see any ants on the hive or hive stand.
The pvc moats need to be cleaned up a bit. And I think I will finally fix the leaks that the smaller pvc moat has so its more useful.
While I was looking around the front of the hive I noticed that the bees have been cleaning house. There were about five dead larval?! drones and about 30-40 dead workers.
