Interesting observation with question

[GSF]

I walked over to one of my hives that I had a concern with about being robbed. I noticed a couple of bees fighting but no real signs of robbing. However, I did notice a couple of bees on the entrance fanning.

Then a thought/question came to mind, "Will a robber fan at another hive's entrance to lure in other robbers from it's home hive?"

I don't think so. As far as I know, robber scouts will fly back to their home hives and perform a dance showing the other robbers where the nectar/honey source is, just like they would for foraging nectar.

I agree.
Robbing is a mass free for all. Are you sure the 2 bees were fighting or was it grooming?

I think robbers come in like a spitfire and don't touch down until they are inside the hive.  Their goal is to get past the guard bees.  I am sure there are some kamikazes that keep the guards busy while the rest of the robbers just fly right in.
