My bees have only been in the TBH for one week, hence I have only one week of experience. The mass in the front of the hive appear to be doing well (through the observation window). In the middle of the hive are a handful of bees that appear to be chipping away at the side of the hive. There are hundreds of minute pieces of wood laying at the bottom.
When I watch the entrance at the front of the hive, I see bees carrying out these tiny pieces. The bees in the middle of the hive come and go without the chips of wood. I have an open entry there too. Should I close this entry?
The TBH has three entries evenly spaced across the front. When should I open/close these entries? Thanks--I have so much to learn.
