I'm preparing to move a few hives to a late summer goldenrod flow, but am
faced with the problem of getting 'bee beards' back into the hives before
the move.  Here on Long Island, N.Y., daytime temps have been in the mid
to upper 80's and evenings are about 70 degrees and humid. Even in
pre-dawn hours my strong hives have huge numbers of bees on the front,
covering at least the bottom deep. I have added empty supers on top in
hopes of providing extra room for the bees but it doesn't seem to help.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
