What time of day do most hives have orientation flights. I seem to notice a lot going on at around 4:00 pm in the afternoon and later. Is this what that is or are they getting out of the hive because it is hot?
That's about right! Orientation flights here from about 3:30 to 5:30 or so....they seem to know when the hive next to it is orienting and they seem to wait. It's my favorite part of the day.
