Is this normal ?
Mikey N.C.:
Feral hive i thank, but no treatment . was said to remove entrance reducer. Have added 2nd med. drawn comb. Temps. 88° in day to 95°. Bees still out side is this normal?
tedh:
Looks good to me Mikey!
Lburou:
Humidity can push them out, because it is more difficult to cool their hive with evaporative cooling. Looks within the bounds of normal to me. :)
Wandering Man:
I agree with Lee. The girls are helping to maintain an appropriate temperature.
I've heard that you should turn cinder blocks so the holes face outward, rather than up. Something about bugs or critters getting better access to the hive when the holes face up.
brooksbeefarm:
It's my opinion that if the cinder blocks face outward they give shelter too unwanted varmit's? Like snakes, lizards, ect. I put mine with the holes facing up with about half the holes uncovered by the hive that lets sunlight, rain, snow, ect in. JMHO. Jack
