Hi All,
Haven't opened my hives yet - too cold in Scotland maybe in July!
I had a look in the entrance with a torch tonight and lots of dead bees on the floor. Had a search on the forum and found one reply that suggested that was normal and when the weather is better sweep them out to give the bees a hand. My question is why don't the bees move them on days when they are flying. I have seen lots of bees coming in with pollen - are the just prioritising their jobs and house cleaning not high on the list.
