So, I'm not going to get a chance until about half 7 or 8 this evening to do an inspection and I would like to check on stores (and in one hive if there's an obvious reason why there's a small bunch hanging around outside the entrance and another small bunch hanging off the porch in a ball)

Assuming the temperature holds up (currently 22) is this a good or a bad idea?
 
Hi,
inspecting your hives in the evening is fine, as long as it isn't too cold. I often end up checking my hives in the evening once I've come home from school.

Be prepared for more 'activity' then usual, unless very docile. Most of the foragers will be at home.
