I was just wondering if anyone had started removing entrance reducers yet? I think within the next week I wll do so, when the rain moves out.

Hey Ron,
Good to see you posting again.
I have had my reducers moved back from the entrance where the bees can go in over the top of the reducer for a couple of weeks now. I will take mine off this weekend as well.

Took my reducer off today. I did something a bit different this year. I went to lowe's and got a 2x2, and cut it to fit the entrance width, then cut out the bee space in a small 3 inch wide spot. I like the larger entrance reducer, especially with the added weight. They did not fall out, or need nailed all winter.
