<Its July and the tempertures are in the mid 90s. I have noticed lots of
<bees on the front of one of my hives but not the others. I have 5 hives.
<I wondering if adding another super or leaving a space with space between
<the hive cover and top super would help in cooling this hive. Is there a
<chance that hive may swarm?
<All replies will be helpful.
<Thank you,

I've noticed the same thing on one of my 3 hives.  This is my busiest hive --
From a starter 3-pound package on April 1, they're on their super.  I first
thought their habit of clustering on front of hive was from the heat, and I
put a stick between 2 supers for ventilation.  But this past weekend temps
were in the 70s and when I checked them they were on the front again.
Any explanation would be appreciated.
