First year. My bees are starting to beard at the entrance. So I believe I need to have better airflow for them correct? Also will this cause them to swarm? I have two deep bodies on and the second isn't all the way complete. It has five frames empty. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Also when I did an inspection today there wasn't and hasn't been any queen cells. Also I checked the queen cups and they were empty.
When I have a heavily bearded hive, I smile, relax, and go about my business happily. It is a sign of a strong, healthy hive. I love it.
I'm with Iddee on this one. Watch and enjoy. Your bees are doing fine.
Some top ventilation would be nice though to help them along.
Thanks! That is reassurring.
