When I went out on Friday night to deliver new supers, I noticed the tower with one of my Amm colonies had a big bunch of bees all around and inside the lobby of the UFE. There was a nice little hole on each side of the bunch, as they drew air in one and out of the other, there was also that happy hum
Today I put another box on top as they had drawn and filled the last one in a week.

Swarm where do you purchase your Amm queens from?

I wish you’d taken a picture
I’m forever trying to explain how bees ventilate hives to people who insist on holes in thecrown board. That would have a brilliant thing to show them.
I popped down to the apiary at six this morning and I have bees outside all the hives. I wish I’d looked closer now.
Thanks for posting that Steve.

I’ve got 3 of my colonies with bees outside. They do have the room inside as I’ve put another super on. But they’re still outside, so I guess it’s normal in hot weather

If you look google pictures "beehive bearding", you see lots of examples

Swarms hang on bushes, not along hive.

IT may take few says that they give up from their habit. 25C is not hot to bees.
