We are first year bee keepers.  We started one colony on April, 18th from a package of bees, and another colony from a nuc just 2 weeks ago.  We think we have robbing going on, but because we are so new to this, we are not sure. Watching the colony we started from the nuc there are lots of bees at the entrance and over the hive body, but only a few that are coming in with pollen.  Our goal is to get our colonies as strong as we can for the winter so we don't want to narrow the entrance if we don't need to.
  We live off of Davis Rd, which is off of Orange Grove Rd, in Orange Co. just outside of Hillsborough.
  We were fortunate to have a wonderful mentor when we got started, but he is moving.  Is there anyone interested in  visiting our hives and sharing their insight  about what is really going on?
  If so you can call or text  Joan at 919-259-6926, or  respond directly to jkalnits AT embarqmail.com
  Thanks in advance,
  Joan and Korinn
