Actually it’s not black, perhaps the colors didn’t come out too good in the email. The bottom deep is light green and the top is light blue.

Yes, they may be hot and getting out of the hot hive to cool off or they maybe carrying out the trash.  Black is not a good color for a hive since it does not reflect the sunlight.  Please paint it white or a lighter color. Hive get really hot in the summer and giving the most ventilation is important. I doubt it is robbing.

I not sure what us going on with this hive. Is this just a bunch of young bees exercising their wings or is something going in that I should be worried about. Just a short movie clip. If you can't view it let me know and I'll post it to YouTube.
