Hi All,

Hives are not light tight, a limited amount of light does make it into the
hive body. I can see very well with only moon light, I would think that
there is enough light inside a hive for bees to see there way around. The
hive is not pitch dark inside as someone stated it was. A little bit of
light can go a long way.

Take it from me, who lives in the dark six months of the year, you can see
in the dark and so can bees. it only takes a small light source to see. The
entrance, whether below or above, is all that is needed for the bees to see
there way around.

What evidence is there that there is no light inside a hive.
