I'm an idiot! I went to pick up some trash that god blown across the yard, and on the way back noticed this on the far side of the "slow" hive.

Completely forgot that cover had that opening cut in it... Guess that's why the front door wasn't that busy.
Should that face the same way as the entrance or doesn't it really matter?
You have no idea howmuch better it makes me feel to see other people do stuff like that... I feel less alone in the world now Zweef!!!
I'd just tape it or as mentioned plug it until you do the first check on the queen cage, then you can flip it.

Bees are ugly this year.. I've never worn a suit to install packages until today.. 6 ? stings in total, 4 installing and two when I replaced a dead queen/cage.. I put the suit on, and continued, so the bees decided to go after the wife!!! That was the end of her videoing.. she got two stings, one on the back of the neck and one RIGHT on the tip of the nose... Tried to get her into a suit, but she refused.. I suppose insisting would have made her even more resistant....
Looks like a good day for you Zweefer, glad, GLAD to see you got the kids involved!!!
