Hello bee-listers
I have a problem that has never arisen before to me.  This week I was
harvesting  the early spring crop  of honey here in North Carolina and
one of my hives with 5 supers refused to leave the supers, the rest (20)
went like a texbook example. I have always used bee go, well almost
always bet the blower mess we wont talk  about.  I gave them ample time
to go down and even tried a small amount extra of solution but they
stayed in the supers and even got  little defensive.  Never happened to
me before, could there be a supersedure taking place at this time or is
there another explanation? Looks like I will have to take the supers off
and move them across the field early in the am and let them return to
there hive location during the day.  Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance to the beekeepers greatest resourse,
Al Boehm
