I'm new. Just came in from my first mean hive. I can't even make it up...I jumped in the field and crawled trying to get them off. Then I see your opening and feel a little better. How is that an instinct? So strange I just started plowing through the grass like an animal. Seriously, I was blanketed.
I have a hive of saskatras bees, it was calmed the first year, after that they became nastier than killer bees. I got that hive for 4 years now haven't got rid of it because it produces the most honey, and when you make splits none of the splits are aggressive.
Hello ya I had a few hives that requeened there self this spring and I can tell them are a little hotter now . Probably a little hotter than they should be so after the flow I plan to requeen then . Thanks
Why would a swarm be mean? I had a large size swarm I tried to shake, they were all over me. Had several that followed me quite a ways away when I walked off. It's the first time I'd ever had easily a couple dozen bouncing the vail at my face.
I'm ordering a queen know for here gentle disposition. Yet my hive is in a garden here in NYC and it's the only location is can be--so I'm stuck with it. Yet it gets sun early morning all the way to 2:30, then is in shade the rest of the day. Should this be a problem?
Good video sir I think you hit that one on the head I always as a rule of thumb if I get into honey bees that are ugly I replace the queen as you know LOL I will not tolerate ugly good video PS my friend I want to see the copy of yesterday's be meeting when you get it ready please sir

Could be weather or genetics of the bees. Or mite overload
