I am not new to beekeeping but sometimes you just scratch your head and
wonder - "what the heck...".
  I created a new colony from two that were attacked by bears.  The new
hive is exhibiting a curious behaviour.
  The hive is hard at work but, a handful of young bees (fuzzy) are hanging-
out on/over the entrance at all times of the day.  Also - there is a beard
of bees on this hive at night even though our nights (Seattle) are not very
warm.
  Is it possible the hive is short of space?  They have a empty medium
super of foundation to occupy.  The populous hive of Carnies next to it
doesn't behave the same way.

  Any Ideas?
