I opened the hive today, and boy those bees were PISSED. I was smoking the bees, I was smoking myself to keep the bees off, I was smoking the air around me hoping to clear them enough that I could see what I was doing. They were quickly running out of room so I stopped smoking long enough to run to the garage and grab another super to add to the hive. I got it all in place and left the girls to explore. (Just realized I have not seen any drones in a long while, weird). Now that the smoke has cleared (pun intended,
lol) the hive seems more calm than it has been in weeks. I think the girls are all busy inside making sure everything is
ok and checking out the new digs. Hopefully that will settle them down a little and give them something to do besides
harass us and the neighbors.
