hi Guys,
I just bought home 2 8 frame hives which are made up of 2 brood boxes, an excluder then 2 supers...
We moved them 80kms - originally in shade of pine trees they are now in full sun....
The loading had a few dramas as the bottom boxes were a little damaged so quite a few escaped - much duct tape was needed...
Unloading was more fun with 100's of angry bees having pushed their way out!!! Got them off the trailer and into postion... 5 hours have passed and both of these hives are heavily bearded...
Are they adjusting to the full sun position? resetting their GPS? my other hives aren't bearding - just a few out front and the fields coming and going???
Any input greatly appreciated :)
