they yard has 2 strong hives and 2 not so strong hives.
i was rearranging one, looking for full combs and squashing hive beetles and
the robbing started.
by the time i knew it the air was full of bees and the entrances of the 2
not so strong hives was a war zone. i quickly closed the entrances of each
to about a 1/2 inch opening. i hope they are able to withstand the assault.
will the robbing instinct diminish as the goldenrod starts to bloom?
besides the restricted entrances is there something else ishould do?
