These photos are of me checking and noticing that the bees were bearding. That is what itβs called when the bees try to stay cool on the outside of the hive when itβs too hot for them outside.
I had to smoke the hive entrances to get them to go back inside.
Then I closed the entrances with foam and we loaded them on a trailer for the ride home.
The last picture is everyone safe and sound this morning!
