Hello, I'm a learner, one hive. I've had it for 6 weeks.

Loads of questions, but I'll start with: DEAD BEES. I have about 25 per week, dead, on the ground at the entrance to the hive. They don't look diseased. Should I be worried?

Welcome :)

And a quick bit of advice from a fellow newbee...two hives are better than one. :bee: :bee:

Welcome to the forum and with the dead bees, since you are in the middle of summer, I bet you are loosing hundreds of bees a day. Look at how many the queen has been laying all spring. And what really matters is what does it look like inside the hive.
