Allen Dick wrote of the hives in his back yard being "tamer" than those in his "bee yard," noting that there was more human activity in his back yard. This was discussed here some time back, and one of the methods noted was used by Ormund Oebi (A-Bee?) who set some production records for honey. He would erect "wave cloths" (flags?) near nasty hives to provide the illusion of constant movement. He sure liked it. Anybody here tried it? Gerry
