Dee -- I'd love to have a counter on a hive to document that event.
One point has been clarified by your comments and Murray's. Bees fly at
night only when there is light (moon, dusk, dawn) and a nectar flow
(correct?). I can believe that, we've seen bees flying at dawn with the
first rays of light, mid-summer, on the deserts of eastern Washington, when
the mornings were cool, the afternoons 113 F. Some of the small shrubs
were releasing nectar in the very early morning.
