Hot in Texas
One of my 7 hives is bearding outside the 5-frame nuc. Temperatures here in North Texas are in the mid-to high 90′s right now (1st week of June 2012). 
I do believe that it’s time to move these ladies to a 10-frame box along with a screened bottom board. That should do wonders for helping to keep them ventilated.
Update on 6/6/2012… We’ve had about 4-inches of rain today… and the temps are down to 70 Deg F. The bees are STILL bearding – Holding out – under the board – whilst it’s raining all around them. I’ll check their hive tomorrow to see what’s going on.
