Title: Bearding question
Post by: akwusmc on June 07, 2016, 01:00:47 PM
All,

This is more a question from my wife (she's a worry-wart) ... the bees have been bearding during the day (not surprising since it's been in the mid 80's) but last night, I went to check on them and they were all bearded, but motionless ... like they'd just gone to sleep.

This is normal, right?

aw

If they have room in the hive, it's normal. If all frames are full of bees,add a box.
