Bee housekeeping
« on: June 08, 2008, 01:38:52 pm »
This morning I noticed three dead workers on the bottom board, and then saw two pupa also.  I'm assuming this is just general morning housework and they're getting rid of the night's losses?

They clean out infested pupa.  That's a sign of good hygienics.
