Lazy, I wouldn't put up with hot bees like that. But some say that they make more honey. Have you ever re-queened to produce a more gentle bee?

In my experience with hot hives they make more honey.  I just make sure to suit up and keep them out away from public access

I've had times when one or other of my hives was ornery and beating at my veil. I mentioned it and riverbee said to wait a bit that they will probably settle back down ~ they did  :)  guess they were working something out.

From bobcats, to bumblebees, to scorpions, to mean bees.
What happened to the original topic?

The original topic was oops and was about bumping a bee hive with a bobcat.  Fortunately, There aren't many such incidents to report.  I think if this thread had been limited to bumping beehives while backing up a bobcat, that it would have been a one post thread.  Now if the bobcat in reverse is left out of the equation, there are a lot of oops stories.  By necessity this thread has gone to the oops side.  One could surmise that this is about half on subject.  :):):)

Still, I find it entertaining.
