I have noticed for a little while now, that a few pupae workers(eyes are dark), being drug out of the hive and deposited or flown away. I have checked the ones that I can get away from the forest floor scavengers, no mature mites, no foul smell, an occasional possible deformed wing.(hard to tell) Not significant numbers so I don't feel concerned. Pupae die sometimes. I want to assume this is a good trait in that the workers are in tune to the pupae. Is this a right step towards VSH?? This hive was a swarm that came out of no where into an empty hive at my house. I didn't have bees here at the house till they came along.
