Strange Swarm Type Activity on Hived Swarm

[DayValleyDahlias]

Day 3 of Hived Swam...I heard to sound and saw the activity by the hive entrance.  A bunch of bees bearded or clustered on the front ront of hive...now all is well..I was going to go take the excluder off should I with this acticvty?

Well????!!!!!  We're waiting!  I want to know the answer, too.  What are they doing clustering so soon after being hived?  Hello....anybody out there? :-D

After they buzzed and hummed and looked like they were swarming again.  It calmed down, andin around 10 minutes everything was status quo.  Rdy-B mentioned to me that it may have been an orientation flight.

I removed the queen excluder that I was using as an "includer" this afternoon, whatever happens now...happens...I am back to work tomorrow :roll:

I guess I'm just nervous for you.  After reading about the big adventure you had just getting them into the hive, I don't want anything to happen to them!  It makes sense that there would be a lot of bees on the front since EVERYBODY in the hive has to learn where their new home is.

Thanks Kimbrell,  It was quite the adventure for me, a BRAND NEW experience!  So I am a bit intense about the "what now" factor.  When I hard that LOUD hum, and saw that swirling action, well, ...best get myself back to present tense!

Time for another adventure, someone else's I hope!
