Hi Liz,
One of the theories is that they’re measuring the space, which is very cool, I
think 😊

Morning.
Not sure if chaining is the correct term!
Spurred on by Paul's post about adding a fifth box I had a quick look through
the viewing panel on third box on my recently swarmed hive.
The bees are building one comb into the third box so a fourth box is to be
nadired later on today.
There were lots of bees in the third box - many of them in long chains
dropping down from the just visible comb and from the bars.
My question is - why are they doing that?
Thanks in advance...
Liz.
