At the entrance

[enrico]

So, I think I realised the problem.

This hive is sat on a stand I built, and I added a landing board maybe 1.5-2 inches width. I think a number of bees have crawled under the board and under, rather than up and in the entrance.

I brushed the bees out from under the OMF, and boarded up the front of the stand. A number of bees were still trying to get under the landing board. Hopefully they’ll work out they need to go up and into the hive entrance!

well done. They dont think like us, to them the omf is no different to a queen excluder except they cant get through it
