Oh goodness do you have to have knowledge equivalent to a scientist? I
thought natural bee keeping was just that!! Just set them up and let them
care for themselves is not how it works then 🙁

Is there any way of telling whether the queen is laying at the moment?
The bees are taking in pollen and have been doing so for some time.  Does
this suggest she's laying, or could the bees just be collecting for when
she starts again?

I've been measuring temperature in the hive, with two sensors on the top
of the top bars, underneath the insulation in the hive roof, one in the
area at the entrance end of the hive (readings in blue) and one at the far
end (readings in red).  A third sensor measures the outside temperature
(readings in green).  Any advice about interperting these measurements
would be welcome!

Best wishes
