Thank you to all the members for your wisdom over the last 3 years.
I?m in Cincinnati, I have a hive going gangbusters as far as population and honey, I have 2 deeps and 2 mediums and when I attempted a hive inspection yesterday these bees wanted me dead lol. When I opened the inner cover the top super was totally packed with bees and full of honey.
Smoke made no difference and I was in a full suit but I must?ve had a tear in my veil as bees got in and I ended up with about 10 stings to the face.
Could this kind of aggression just be due to overcrowding or is this likely a hive that needs to be requeened or worse?
Thanks,
TC
