Just spotted this beard on the huge colony that didn't swarm this year. It
wasn't like this half an hour ago.
They've sent excess bees outside to aid ventilation - note the lines of
bees above and on the floor below the hive(!): they are all pointing
towards the entrance, fanning. There's no wind here.
Probably need comb surface area for honey processing.
