I have a hive in my backyard in the city, which didn't make it through the winter. I put a 3lb package in last week and they seem to be doing great. But it looks like they are removing pollen from some comb and tossing it out the front. I observed several pieces laying around the front and watched a bee drag some out this morning and dropped it. I think its pollen, but not really sure. Anyone seen this before?
that's a good sign. it means they are good housekeepers. the pollen may have a bit of mold, or it's not where they want it. not to worry. they will set things up right in no time. :-)
I agree!! There is a-plenty of pollen out there right now so they might be pollen snobs and only want the fresh stuff? :-D Its a good thing that they are cleaning house that means they have accepted their new home.
