I have had bees for about 10 years, in PA, OH, and now FL. Yesterday I took off
the honey, and while doing so, I noticed embedded in the wire screen of the
queen excluder 1/2 of a (formerly) 2.5 in. wood roach (bottom half only) well
cemented on, AND about 50-60 BLACK BALLS , almost perfectly spherical, about
3/16 in. in diameter, most clumped at one end of the excluder but some randomly
distributed on the wire grid, all well cemented on.
 
What have I got?
