Hi all,
I inspected last week, all went well, but saw some strange behaviour, and wondered if anyone could explain why I saw what I saw.
I have one really productive hive, but noticed that they had gone through supersedure, one opened queen cell in middle of top brood box. Spotted brood, no HM, so figured all ok, and was about to pop super back on top, when all of the bees in the super seemed to roll over the top, a bit like milk does when boiled. I brushed them back, and they were calm, but am curious as to why they did what they did.
Thanks!
