I hived a swarm 48 hours ago and I just went out to check their syrup, and it was empty (1/2 gal. in 2 days). When I went to switch out the feeder, which is a gallon paint can over the inner cover, I couldn't see any bees inside. I thought maybe they didn't like their new home and decided to leave. So I slid the cover back a bit and found that all of the bees are on the first four frames to the far left side of the hive. From everything I have seen and read the bees tend to start on the center frames and work their way out. Are these some extremely whacky bees or is this a common behavior? I'm not concerned about it, just curious.
