Dr. Bob Southwick showed he could move the brood rearing cluster up 
or down in the hive by opening auger holes higher or lower on the 
hive, and closing what entrance was being used. So, are the bees just 
placing their pollen in the vicinity of the entrance because that's 
what they do, in anticipation of brood rearing taking place in that area?
