What I wa getting at is I often times can tell a storm is coming by the
bees being very runny on the combs and sometimes dripping off the frames.

The first time I saw this the state inspector took AHB test samples an
things were clean...

I do have Russian stock but have seen this prior to bringing that in...

Once I see this I simply quit for th day an come back tommorow... I have
never seen it in the same hive once the weather system rolls through...

Some say this behavior is related to barametric pressure...

I wouldn't go hitting the  hive with gasoline just yet.... Or worry about
queenlessness... Nature often times acts different under different
approaching weather systems...

Be good to hear how the react on a different day...
