I have a drone layer. Probably because of mites. I haven't read anywhere what
to do with this hive, so I thought about it and have decided that if I set
the hive off to the side and put a new one in it's place with a queen
excluder under the first hive body, then the queen and the drones would be
kept out. I tried to find the queen, but there were so many drones she was
hard to distinguish. I cut out the unhatched drone brood and I cut out all
drone comb. So if you, or any of the old drones would like to comment.....I'd
be so happy.
