For some reason a small gap has opened up between the two medium boxes in my hive, probably between 1/16th and 1/8th of an inch. I checked and it didn't look like a buildup of wax or propolis... maybe the wood has warped slightly. Some of the bees hang around the gap like they are trying to get in, and when I pried it open a tad to try and see what was doing, the bees inside came flooding out like it was a prison break.
Two questions: one, anything abnormal in that bee behavior around the crack? And two, should I take any action to try and seal it up or just let them do their thing? I live in the Seattle area, and while not freezing by any means it is still getting down in the mid-40s overnight.
Thanks,
