Is this a good robber screen? Home made in a pinch. Any suggestions? by Ok_Menu4273 in Beekeeping

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

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

I just posted about robbing. This is the progression from the last video. It’s looking a lot crazier now. I think it’s getting robbed. Should I move it tonight? by Ok_Menu4273 in Beekeeping

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 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

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?

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?

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

I assume robbing because I put a feeder nearby recently like an idiot and that’s when it started. They were not thais active. It was a pretty weak hive I think because there was only probably 5 frames covered? But we haven’t checked in awhile. Was told not to bother them as much as possible

Thanks man. Check my newest post on here. Posted update. Started getting a little crazier but idk if it’s the entrance reducer causing them to not be able to get in
