Hello to all,
 
Should I bee concerned if there are some red ants mixed in with my hive? I
wouldn't call it an infestation, but there are a few in there. It seems with
ants that when you see a few, a million show up later.
 
The hive is not the strongest one in the world. I got them in April 1998 and
lost the 1st queen. The 2nd one is doing well and the population is growing
everyday. Currently I have 4 frames of brood and they are expanding.
 
What should I do or use to evict the ants, if need bee?
