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?
