Almost all my bees on the front entrance of my top bar & hardly any bees inside...my hive has been low in numbers since a brood comb loss.
There are also bees all around the hive on the ground too in clusters....plenty of sugar water in the feeder (inside). Should I gather them up & put them in the hive?? I wonder if I am queenless??!!
They are all listless...no guarding behavior...many look small & lightly colored. I wonder if I had a bunch of brood hatch but what else is going on?
I hope someone can help, this is my first hive & it has been a rough go because of cross combing
