I hope some one on BEE-l can answer this question. I requeened a hive last week. I introduced the queen and then waited 10 days before I checked to see how she was doing. She seemed to be doing fine but the other bees appeared agitated; more so than usual when working a hive. Also, I noticed the bees were clustering around the entrance to the hive. I closed up the hive and went on about my business. I checked the hive a few hours later and found approximately 200 dead bees in front of the hive. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but it has been extremely hot and dry in my area (Piedmont region of N.C.) Has anyone else ever had this problem or maybe someone can suggest or hint at something I may havedone wrong? Keith Redmon
