Thank you! The bees round the front of the hive were not flying but all crawling about on the front and round the sides. In the end we took off the wasp guard on one side. I think there were just too many trying to get in and out at the same time.
I like the idea of putting the super underneath...
We would appreciate some advice as we are complete beginners. We started off with a swarm of bees in May. They have seemed to be doing well in that there are lots and lots of bees and brood. On the advice of our beekeeping friend we have been feeding them and not taken any honey with the hope...
