Young bees outside the hive

[lebouche]

Sometimes when I inspect I see a lost bee or two left on the outside of the hive. I try to put them back on the landing board but don't always manage. Do the young ones get back in the hive or just get cold and lost?
I was very pleased with my inspections today, bees were so calm and I don't think I squashed one bee or upset them at all. Just left feeling guilty over the lost ones.

At this time of the year some of the winter bees die off.. You will get used to this loss and worry less.. Takes about 2 years of sleepless nights.
