I am not new to beekeeping but sometimes you just scratch your head and wonder - "what the heck...". I created a new colony from two that were attacked by bears. The new hive is exhibiting a curious behaviour. The hive is hard at work but, a handful of young bees (fuzzy) are hanging- out on/over the entrance at all times of the day. Also - there is a beard of bees on this hive at night even though our nights (Seattle) are not very warm. Is it possible the hive is short of space? They have a empty medium super of foundation to occupy. The populous hive of Carnies next to it doesn't behave the same way. Any Ideas? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
