I was just out watching my hive late in the afternoon (7:00). A lot of activity, possibly robbing, but cannot tell. It is not a mass of bees, just more than normal. Some on the ground, it appears some fighting going on. Does not look like orientation flights.
The thought occurred to me: Is it possible to distract or decoy robbing? I wonder if putting a tray of 1:1 on top of the hive (or somewhere else nearby) would satisfy the robbing bees, or would it just attract more?
