heavy bearding in cool damp weather

[user 6228]

16c overcast with odd spot of rain ... heavy bearding by a relatively small colony.
checked yesterday plenty of room in the top
is the heavy ivy flow responsible?

They are running a night shift on the honeyripening, from the racket coming from the hive at 10 pm. So something must have been happening today
