"Keep in mind, though, that if the hive is too warm, there is not much
brood, and the entrances are not controlled, the bees may fly excessively
and dwindle.  I've seen that more than a time or two."

How warm is too warm?  Is we talking about temperature inside the hive
absolutely or relative to the outside temperature?
Thanks.
