I was looking at my hive today and they seen to be a lot of bees on the landing board. I had a closed look and the queen (New this year) was stood there surrounded her minions just taking in the sun. They were not balling her, just fussing around her.
I had inspected them on Monday and everything was ok, not swarm or queen cells. The hive is a little feisty even with this new queen.
I gently brushed her back inside and that seemed to be the end of it.
Is this normal or not?
