The discussion of screened bottoms & hive ventilation has put a "bee in
my bonnet" especially regarding the orientation of the main hive opening.

   Can anyone tell me - Do honeybees in the wild naturally orient their
comb facing the opening or perpendicular to the opening?  Or do they care
at all?

   Thanks for listening.
