So I've looked through the literature and I found a review article saying all of this and more. It was written by a group of respected physicians from American and French hospitals and it clearly supported the widely held belief that you should drink two to three litres of water a day.
This is a common occurrence to have your brood chamber become honey bound during the main nectar flow. A typical hive body will have a brood cluster in the middle and the outside frames will contain honey. A honey bound hive happens when brood begins to emerge, it is replaced with nectar.
Honey bees are a yellow-orange color. During the spring, honey bee colonies may swarm. Swarming is the process of honey bee colony reproduction and involves the splitting of a colony where 30-50% of the bees leave the hive with the old queen. The swarm flies to a temporary site for a day or two before a new permanent nest site is chosen. These swarms often alarm people, but bees in this state are very docile because they donât yet have a nest to defend. Honey bees prefer to build a nest in a sheltered location such as a hollow tree, wall, or attic and seek out such locations.
