     What is everyone's opinion on the best time of day to go into the hive?
I have one hive that is somewhat aggressive about defending the home!  I
know that right before a approching storm is not a good time and that I
should always take off my black watch.
     I have noticed that night seems to be ok as I have taken frame after
frame out and not had a problem, but I can't see much that way, and Im not
sure if its the darkness or the cooler air that is calming them down.
     Durring the day I can take the lid off and watch them line up on the
top of the frames ready to scramble at the first sight of a bare arm!
 
Thanks
