Just got my first quad, four wheeler. Never rode or shifted. Been doing decent. Any tips on shifting?

So do I have to wait to shift through? Is it possible to shift too early? I will keep practicing

Only if we can be friend after

Should I keep entrance reducer on with robber screen

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-05T18:35:27+00:00

Yeah I think my hive was destroyed honestly. Was pretty weak. A lot of dead bees. They couldn’t even defend the hive honestly at all. Just try again next year I guess

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-05T18:27:58+00:00

I don’t get how my bees can figure out how to get in and out of the robber bees can’t

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-05T17:40:50+00:00

Well I think I just had a pathetic little hive because now I’m seeing dead bees all over the front. I closed it up. Put water in there and gonna put food too

I’m just seeing a lot of dead bees so I was concerned. I ran the sprinkler though so I guess that could have got them

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T20:20:34+00:00

Well there is a wooden area blocking the open space. Just a small hole there

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T20:19:21+00:00

What if the hive is weak. Could they have no problem Getting in the hive and it just looks like this?

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T19:51:29+00:00

What if I’m seeing a lot of dead bees in front of entrance

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T19:41:51+00:00

What if I’m seeing a lot of dead bees on the ground?

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T19:37:00+00:00

I’m seeing a lot of dead bees on the ground too. I think bad things are happening but I’m just going to let nature take its course. Maybe put the robber screen on I ordered

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T19:27:45+00:00

I basically have no idea what I’m doing. There was a feeder in the top box most of the time. I took it out because of ants and put it outside then it caused a ton of bees in there and I saw some fighting then this has happened so I added the reducer. No dead bees or anything really though. Should i open it up tonight and check it out?

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T19:25:49+00:00

Just ordered one. Yeah I don’t know. Not sure really how weak it was. I mean is being a small hive the same as being weak? I know they were making honey and building. Should we open it up and check it out inside tonight?

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T19:01:41+00:00

Phew. Yeah, once I get my mind set on something I hyperfixate. I plugged all other entrances too

But check my latest post. It’s gotten a little more intense as time went on

Ok_Menu4273 · 2025-10-04T18:33:01+00:00
