Title: SHB how high fly
Post by: tina on April 24, 2011, 09:42:52 pm

does anyone know how high in the air can SHB fly?   I have a screened pergola and could put my hive in there with a bee vent about 7 foot above the ground     i suppose they would just crawl up the gauze until they found the vent though       anyone have any ideas?

SHB are strong flyers and can fly great distances. I'm assuming they can fly quite high as well/
