Hi bee liners

We recently have experienced very hot weather in Cape
Town and the bees have not produced to my expectation.
I have heard the theory that the nectar evaporates
from the blossoms before the bees can get to gather
it.

Has anyone info regarding the the effect of hot
weather on honey production.

Also the bees were not very protective when we reaped
the golden rewards. Usually we have to remain in our
veils untill about 200 meters away. That day we
stripped a mere 5 or so meters away. Comments???

Kind Regards

Karl Dehning
