Honey Bees Fanning the Entrance to Cool the Colony on a Hot Summer Day - Beekeeping - August 6, 2023

Recently I added an entrance reducer to my bee hive. I noticed a few ants within the hive and I wanted to keep the colony safe from any potential robbery. A few weeks later I noticed this phenomenon happening outside of the hive. The honey bees were flapping their wings a super high speeds to fan the entrance of the colony in an attempt to stay cool on a hot summer day. After this, I decided to use a smaller entrance reducer with a larger entrance and more airflow.
