>This is the key tip - new/young foragers, and not too many bees for the space.
>There are several other tips, all involving conditioning of bees to modify their behavior, the tent or greenhouse materials (light transmission), and the height of the tent. Small tents with lots of bees will yield a high degree of wastage as the old foragers beat themselves to death trying to get to the setting sun.
I have always placed them where the sun sets, and then no problem.
With blueberries under bird nets we find they must be inside the nets.
They are prepared to fly out and back in but not in. Of course
blueberries are not very attractive, especially where we pollinate them.
All their pollen comes from outside the nets, and most of their nectar.
