I know I’ve talked about this ad nauseum, sorry. But looking tonight I noticed that they are out in significant numbers. - Entrance reducer removed - Time is 9:40 PM - Temperature is 26C or 79F - the hive was under shade cloth today and no bearding during the hot hours Normal? ![20190104_211959](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/honeyflow/original/3X/8/3/83322d18cc96e02b02e5caffbe8563c8a7739532.jpeg) ---

It is normal Robert. Look at this way, The hive is strong and at night all the worker bees have taken a break from foraging and are at home with all the rest of the girls. it is a warm night and with all the extra body heat in the hive it is getting too hot for the comfort of the queen and brood. It is about now a break in the cooler fresh air is sounding pretty good and i have heard through the grape vine there is a slight breeze blowing as well. I’ll just go out and hang out there in the beard…😉🤨 ---

Faroe Quote “in case you would like to have a look at some other beekeepers beards”. Mine’s not much to look at, however I’d like to see @Dawn_SD’s. ---

Yep, I left that sentence like that on purpose 😉 Could start a new topic on it 😛 This was many years ago, but a good beard none the less. 🧔 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/honeyflow/original/3X/d/9/d9d92a418e38f0f6b4def2ffa784821796bc6197.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/honeyflow/original/3X/8/5/85709b8a53f1ac3f39829e9eceb5804b19ff3f81.jpeg) ---

We have an old European joke… Why do Italian men grow such impressive moustaches? So that they look like their mothers! 😄 😊 🤣 😈
