I am looking at getting a robber screen, and looking at it, I don't see any way for the bees to remove dead bees. Any thoughts on this?

The robber screens I use have an opening at the landing board as well as one on top. I have seen them remove dead bees through the top, but it is a struggle. Usually, healthy bees that die of old age fly away and die so in flying weather there are not a lot of dead bees for them to remove. If it becomes an issue, you can remove screen and clean the bottom board with a stick when robbing is less likely, but I have not found this to be necessary. J

in summer the bees leave to die "mostly"
maybe check every 4 weeks and sweep them out if needed.

Another bee grabs the dead one, walks it up the screen out the opening and flies it out.
