Hi Paul
Seeing your picture (excellent, by the way!) I decided I'd better visit my
bees and lower their bottom boards, under the mesh floors. However, they
were stuck in place, and as the bees seemed perfectly happy anyway I
decided to leave alone. But my Warre hive was doing just the same as yours
- but nothing possible to do there.
Hope for the best
Helen

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.
