Opening in extreme heat

[Barry Digman]

Is there a danger to brood, larvae, or eggs in opening up a hive when it's over 100F and the humidity is only 5%? I'm wondering how much disruption there is to their climate control when it gets this hot and dry. Anyone know if Dee Lusby takes any special precautions in her part of the desert?

I wouldn't set the brood in full sun for very long, I usually set it on the shady side of the hive. The rest of it doesn't matter to me, Permacomb won't melt but it will get soft and warp if left in the sun too long.
