A big thanks to Ken and Steve for coming out to my beeyard yesterday! Here you see Ken scraping the junk off a bottom board – something I hadn’t thought to do since getting my bees.
Here’s what came off them:
You can see different kinds of pollen – the different colour pollen comes from different flowers – and other random junk that fell to the bottom of the hive. This kind of thing attracts Wax Moth and other nuisances, so it’s a good idea to scrape it off every once in awhile. When you remember. Or when someone else remembers for you.
