Pollen in honey super
« on: May 24, 2014, 03:28:00 am »
Stupid question maybe. I am noticing that my girls are storing a lot of pollen in the honey supers. Is this something I should be concerned about regarding my honey harvest or is it normal and not a problem?
Thanx for putting up with my stupid questions - LOL

Unless your in a pollen heavy area, it'll mostly go away as the season progresses and the brood nest starts getting backfilled for winter. Honey supers are their cupboards, a place to put things to keep them out of the way.
Can't ever say that bk'n ain't a learning experience!
