Training Flights
« on: March 18, 2012, 01:24:28 am »
I was watching my girls today and i noticed that all hives seem to have their training flights happening around the same time (3pm)
Has anyone else ever noticed this? its almost if there was a certain time they have to do it.

I read its supposed to be the sign of a healthy hive, does that mean the more bees there are doing it the better the hive is?

I just love it ! theres heaps of bees coming and going they even bank up at times when too many come back at once, and the trees are flowering their heads off.  :)
