[QUOTE="Wknz, post: 885, member: 175"] No. The queen is laying like it's on steroids. Black backed bees seen on flowers near by. Not drones. I had bees buzzing my head, bumping into me, one went down my tshirt, aggressively investigating...not just flying by. Normally I can walk up to it, have bees crawl over my hand. When this happened I got no closer than 1 to 2m and they started following me even after I walked away. Something really ticking them off. The hive is a calm one. The flight patterns changed from happily in and out to hovering bees going side to side with legs down, noise levels a long way up. It the same as what happened to the hive next to it. There is a hive somewhere nearby with dark coloured bees. They seem to be visiting and annoying my hives. [/QUOTE]
