Did a full inspection today, been maybe a month since the last one.
I have 2 deeps filled, 1 super built out and getting filled, and 1 untouched super on. Everything in the deeps looked fine, found eggs, pollen, honey (capped/uncapped), larva, and all that good stuff. Tho one thing i noticed on several frames, it seems like they just did a poor job building out, either bumpy and irregularly built or only the area towards the middle was used ( maybe like 3/4ths or 1/3rd used) Anybody experience this and is it worth doing anything for it?
2nd major thing was i found eggs in the 1st super ( in the 3 middle frames ). So i separated out the eggless and egged frames into the 2 differ supers, maybe absolutely sure the queen was not in them ( multiple checks ). put the excluder on, then added the eggless super back on and put the egged super in the freezer to kill the eggs. Then im planning to add that super back on in a few hours.
Was this the right plan o' action? I wanted to attempt to not use an excluder (top entrance) but seems she still wanted to lay eggs. What would some of you do, and what are your experiences dealing with this situation?
Thanks,
Pablo
