I did an observation hive for class on Friday, keeping it for markets on Saturday and Sunday. The ob hive consists of 2 brood frames and 1 frame of honey.

I've noticed bees dancing in the hive, yet there's no real foraging to be done. They are moving honey from the honey frame down to the brood frames.

Just happy bees or are they trying to convey some information?

Any comments appreciated.....
