This about 200ft. from the hives and they are fighting--honey robbing I suppose. I feel real bad about so many bees dieing due to my stuipidy/ignorance--bees drowing in honey sheesh. Some first lesssons are pretty hard....especially when harder on others than oneself.
Any other similarly dumb things anyone else do that I can avoid?
