What is the current thought on the use of queen excluders. I hived a package
this spring and seem to have a good strong colony and am hoping to get a little
honey from the goldenrod bloom this fall. I put a super on prematurely this
summer with a queen excluder and nothing happened. There were a few bees above
the excluder, but no drawn comb. Only some foundation wax had bee eaten or
moved.
When I add a super for the goldenrod bloom. Should I use an excluder?
