As I've said before, simply facing the hive  entrance
towards the sunrise will change time of initiation of foraging by  approximately
30 minutes to one hour compared to bees from hives facing away  from the
sun.  Same is not true at dusk.  They all come home about the  same time.


Has anybody tried to wake them up earlier using light? Doesn't have to be flood lights, just something (LEDs  of the right color?) shining into the entrance.
