New Bee
I'm a bit perplexed. Yesterday whilst checking my hives i noticed a few bees flying under the hive. Hive is on a palette, so there's about 20cm of space under it. I got on the floor to look under and to my amazement they've built a whole load of comb under the hive. Is it a swarm (Queen and all) or just a continuation of the nest downwards? If so why? They have space, hive us well ventilated etc etc. What should I do? First cold night and they'll perish.
