Drifters

It's big boys' hive time again -- and it's only April! The hive on the right has been snelgroved and has two entrances -- one at the side of large box on top.

A few bees in the second picture are confused. The picture is taken from the back of the hives and shows that the six or seven bees on the right clustered up the side of the box have gone to the wrong hive. It's the one on the left which has the side entrance. It makes you wonder just how many bees drift from hive to hive by mistake.
