Late in the day and early evening they will move back inside their hive.This thread was originally posted in USPC by BriceAllen. However, with a Beast Blocker ® in place, they don’t “beard” they form a “plume” above the entrance! So don’t be alarmed, they are just cooling off. On hot days, a mass of bees form a hanging beard from the front landing board to reduce the heat load in the hive and to keep themselves cool. You may have seen “bearding” happen with your hive before. It won’t take them long to learn how to use the Beast Blocker ®.Īn interesting phenomenon that you may see with your Beast Blocker ® in place, is the front of the hive covered in bees. That’s it! During the day, the flying bees will soon learn that they need to make that 90° turn as they exit the hive, and they will orient themselves with the color entrance gates to learn the new way into the hive. Make sure the base plate and closer gates are flush against the super when screwing it in to ensure the gates can function as designed.
