New from Moundville, AL

Have a friend who put a hive at my house for me and the Grandkids to watch. Tonight we noticed lots of bees outside the hive. First time I've noticed this at night so I was looking for an answer. Found this site and the answer. Turned out to be that temp control thing they do. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Bearding is a good sign of a strong colony. I often check mine at dusk to get an idea which are strong and which need my attention.
I was born and raised in Bessemer so I know you're in a really good area for bees.

Welcome to the forum,Woodchuck.  If you have any questions just ask someone can usually answer it.  Good luck with your bees.

Welcome aboard, woodchuck.  You had better be careful or the next thing you know you'll be studying the beekeeping supply stores. ;)
