Hello All

I am interested in obtaining as much detail as possible on robbing.

1. Do bees rob only when the opportunity arises and then cease robbing when
the easy source is no longer available, e.g. the target hive(s) fully robbed
out. Or is a robbing instinct awakened in the hive which then persists?.

2. Is there a genetic aspect to robbing - is there such a bee as a robber,
i.e. a bee which is more disposed to robbing than average, and actively
seeks out targets?.

3. Preventing robbing by neat apiary practices, feeding at dusk with reduced
entrances and not placing nucs near strong hives is recommended. But how can
one stop it if it gets started?

Sincerely
