I have actually let the bees clean up a lot of items right next to the hives. Thus far I have had no problems with robbing. I hope my luck holds up.Robertson Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564514431401201303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904270599577868856.post-52013941346708894622010-09-23T06:35:11.453-06:002010-09-23T06:35:11.453-06:00Sounds like your cleanup was very similar to ours....Sounds like your cleanup was very similar to ours. The only difference was I moved my extractor a couple hundred feet away from the hives when I let them clean it. In one website from a commercial producer, the manager suggested keeping them away from the hives to avoid encouraging robbing and fighting. I still found more than a dozen dead bees after it was all cleaned up, so I don't know if that discouraged fighting or not.<br />Enjoy your blog.Jim Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512985557177979070noreply@blogger.com
