Also note, it was only the one hive that seemed to be bothered by the skunk. The colony was also short pollen which limits the ability to raise brood.

One easy check is if the bees go in at night. If they don&#8217;t, then that is a good indication they are out of room. Kirk gives some suggestions on [&#8230;]]]></description>

What do you do if you find a supersedure cell? These are typically on the frame in the main brood area. As a general rule we leave them [&#8230;]]]></description>

(Kirk says 80-90 in the video but don&#8217;t let them get that crowded if you can avoid it). This is a new package started 21 days ago in drawn comb from a deadout. [&#8230;]]]></description>
