        They were clearly flying around the old approach flight path. There is a
deadout TBH right next to this spot and the bees showed no interest. There was
nothing of any obvious interest and the bees did not fly around the hive sites of
the two other hives that use to be located a few feet to the south to this
particular hive position.
