But yes, it does bring risks with it, so we'll see how it goes.<br /><br />I have not heard of Storch's book, but I will definitely look into it.

just a thought ...so happy to have found your blog!<br /><br />just a thought but if you are in a highly residential area with a fair amount of foot traffic in proximity to the hive flight path, a consideration might be to elevate the hives on platforms above head-level (ie White House hive).<br /><br />tremendous book, if you have not yet discovered it, is H. Storch's "At The Hive Entrance". detailed guide to interpreting bee behavior at the hive's entrance following a calendar year. I believe was written in the late 18oos. amazing, really helpful reference. my copy is dog-eared.The Starved Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687455585038744083noreply@blogger.com
