I am requesting,that the members on the list read my message for the second time,due to a malfunction on my computer. I lost all my mail messages. My original question was,bees are "balling"on top of the bee escape hole, and should I feed the bees,or is there another problem? The temp. is only in the 40's. I am afraid that at this temp.,I might due more harm,by opening the hive,any further.
