This morning I left home quickly and failed to close my bee shop door. On
return I found 1,000's of bees gorging themselves on my empptied super , work
dishes etc that were honey laden.I thought they would go home when darkness
fell. I find thsat they are clumping together in small bands, with heaps
below the glass window while they haad not far to go to pass through the
still open door. Many are hanging on the floursescent tubes, extinguished. It
will be cold tonight and I fear than many will die.
I plan to move them into a container tomorrow and take to my apiary.Closing
the door to be sure! I am going to put a little heat on to keep them alive
until dawn.
 
Anyone have good suggestions for saving them please respond quickly
