New Bee
Hello there,
I am currently looking after my friends chickens and they have a bee hive too.
I'm concerned because for the last 3 days now, there have been a large number of them on a railway sleeper in the garden. It looks like they are possibly using the fungus on the wood? They have swarmed over it and I have assumed that they go back to the hive at night but I went over at dusk tonight and they seemed to have no intention of leaving the sleeper. There were no bee's going in and out of the hive either whilst I was there.
It's usually very active and they are in and out all day.
Can you advise me what they are doing? Is it a problem?
Many thanks.
