I hope some one on BEE-l can answer this question.  I requeened a hive last
week. I introduced the queen and then waited 10 days before I checked to see
how she was doing.  She seemed to be doing fine  but the other bees appeared
agitated; more so than usual when working a hive.  Also, I noticed the bees
were clustering around the entrance to the hive.  I closed up the hive and
went on about my business.  I checked the hive a few hours later and found
approximately 200 dead bees in front of the hive.  I don't know if this has
anything to do with it but it has been extremely hot and dry in my area
(Piedmont region of N.C.)  Has anyone else ever had this problem or maybe
someone can suggest or hint at something I may havedone wrong?
