OK, what the heck is going on?? The bee are still forming a beard on the front of the old hive. They've been there for several days now and the weather has been terrible. Lots of rain and very cool temps for this time of year. It was 44 degrees this morning! I called Mike yesterday and told him about the bees, but he really didn't think there was anything I could do to get the bees to go back into the hive. I also called Tom Peck and ask if he had any suggestions. Tom thought this was unusual, but also didn't really have any suggestions. Tom said not to worry too much, the bees will take care of themself. He recommeded keeping the guard off for a while. Here are some shots of the beard:
