Hi all > This year we used queen excluders on our honey hives and during our > annual search for light honey couldn't find any pollen at all. > So should I 'conclude' from this 'observation' that top entrances > and the lack of queen excluders lead to pollen in the honey supers? I > certainly believe so! We *always* use queen excluders, have top entrances and with reference to the original post, we don't have any problem with bees filling supers above the excluder. They ignore the excluder and I prefer honey supers that don't have any previous brood---it deters wax moth. And who wants brood remnants in their honey? Anyhow, having said that we always use excluders, I have found the odd frame with a few cells of pollen UNDER the honey. I always wondered what the bees were thinking..:) Cheers, Ian Watson
