We have two hives in our front yard, and I have noticed after dark there a handful of bees on the landing board. On both hives, the bees are clustered towards the left corner of the landing board and seem to just be wandering around when I look at them with a torch. Nights here in Queensland at the moment are around 23-28C.. are the hives just too full for them all to fit, as the foraging bees are back?
I was also coming home from a late night out the other night at around 4am while it was still dark, and the bees were in the same place doing the same thing... Got me wondering what they get up to at night inside the hive too.
Cheers
