I saw a few of these girls making wax while dragging their abdomen across the robbing screen. I was worried at first until I saw photos on the net. I'm still a little concerned that this is occurring outside of the hive. But the girls do act like the robbing screen is just a screened porch.:scratch: They bump around a lot in the screened area before they enter the hive in one corner of their entrance. I can't figure these girls out. The whole entrance is open and they treat the back half like a trophy. It reminds me of the trash can that we kept polished but never used in boot camp. I never could figure that out as well.
